ATL channel, aircraf

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure one Nomenclature Aircraft Channel (NSN 1R-1680-015612334-E7) through a pre-solicitation notice. The agency intends to solicit and negotiate with two sources under FAR 6.302-1 authority, focusing on a specific aircraft component with a reference number 1538-8215-343-008. Interested vendors must submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements within 45 days of the publication date (or 30 days if awarded under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement). The government will evaluate submissions to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement, with the final determination of competition being solely at their discretion. Proposals received within the specified timeframe will be considered, though this notice is not a formal request for competitive proposals.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for this opportunity, meaning it is open to all qualified vendors. The contract requires delivery of one unit FOB origin, with the procurement falling under the Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories And Components product service code (PSC 1680). While specific award value is not disclosed, the single-unit requirement suggests a potentially targeted procurement. The opportunity was posted on December 9, 2024, with responses due by January 23, 2025, providing potential vendors approximately 45 days to prepare and submit their capabilities. The Naval Supply Systems Command, a defense agency, will manage this procurement process, leveraging its established protocols for acquiring specialized aircraft components.
