Cartridge, in repair/modification of

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure 8 units of a specific cartridge (NSN 7H-4310-001020351-PP) through a potential single-source contract under FAR 6.302-1. The government currently does not own the technical data package (TDP) or rights to the data needed for repair/modification, and has determined it would be uneconomical to purchase these rights or reverse engineer the part. This pre-solicitation notice invites all responsible sources to identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement, with proposals being accepted within 45 days of publication (or 30 days if awarded under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement). The government will use its discretion to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received. Notably, the acquisition will not follow FAR Part 12 policies for commercial items, though interested parties may submit commercial item capabilities within 15 days of the notice.

The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate any specific set-aside designations, and no incumbent contractors are mentioned. Delivery for the cartridges is specified as FOB Origin, with the Technical Data Package (TDP) version 006 being the reference standard. While specific award value is not disclosed, the procurement involves 8 units of the specified cartridge. The opportunity was posted on April 10, 2025, with responses due by May 12, 2025, providing approximately one month for potential contractors to prepare and submit their capabilities or proposals. The procurement falls under PSC Category 4310-P for Compressors and Vacuum Pumps, suggesting the cartridge is likely related to pneumatic or compression equipment used in naval systems.
