Dust cap

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure a Dust Cap (NSN 1H-5340-015996705-X3, TDP Version 005) classified under the Hardware, Commercial product service code 5340. This pre-solicitation notice indicates the Government's intent to solicit and negotiate with a single source under FAR 6.302-1 authority, as the Government does not own the data or rights necessary to purchase or contract repairs from alternative sources, and reverse engineering has been determined economically infeasible. However, all responsible sources are invited to identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements within 45 days of publication (or 30 days if award is issued under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement). The Government reserves sole discretion to determine whether to compete this procurement based on responses received. Information submitted will be evaluated primarily to assess whether a competitive procurement should be conducted rather than serve as formal competitive proposals.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside opportunity. The requirement specifies a quantity of 30 units with delivery to two locations: W25G1U/W1A8 DLA Distribution in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania and W62G2T/W1A8 DLA Distribution San Joaquin in Tracy, California. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on February 21, 2026, with a due date of March 24, 2026, providing potential offerors with approximately one month to submit responses. No award value or budget range is specified in this notice, and no incumbent contractor information is disclosed at this stage. Interested parties should monitor for the formal solicitation announcement or contact the contracting office for additional technical specifications and contractual terms.
