Electronic balance

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is procuring electronic balances (scales) under National Stock Number 1H-6670-016449300, Technical Data Package Version 005. This pre-solicitation notice indicates the Government's intent to negotiate with a single source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, citing the uneconomical nature of obtaining data rights or reverse engineering the part. However, all responsible sources may submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements to demonstrate their interest and capability. The Government will consider all proposals received within 45 days of the notice publication date (or 30 days if an award is issued under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement) to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The deadline for responses is March 16, 2026. No specific evaluation criteria beyond contractor responsibility are detailed in this notice, as the Government has predetermined a single-source approach based on data availability constraints.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and involves no identified incumbent contractors. The contract requires delivery of 67 units to two Defense Logistics Agency distribution centers: one in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania (W25G1U facility) and one in San Joaquin, Tracy, California (W62G2T facility). No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The primary numerical requirement is the quantity of 67 electronic balances to be delivered to the specified locations. As this is a pre-solicitation notice rather than a formal solicitation, interested contractors should prepare capability statements and proposals demonstrating their ability to supply this specialized equipment and meet the Government's delivery requirements to the two distribution points.
