Filter element, flui

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure a filter element (fluid) classified under PSC 4330 for centrifugals, separators, and pressure and vacuum filters. This pre-solicitation notice indicates the Government's intent to solicit and negotiate with a single source under FAR 6.302-1, though all responsible sources may submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements to express their interest and capability. The procurement is not subject to the commercial items acquisition policies in FAR Part 12, though interested parties may identify commercial item solutions within 15 days of this notice. The Government will evaluate all proposals received within 45 days of publication (or 30 days if award is issued under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement). The contracting officer will use responses solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement, with the final decision to compete remaining at the Government's sole discretion. The due date for responses is May 11, 2026, allowing interested contractors approximately 45 days from the March 26, 2026 posting date to prepare and submit their proposals.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation for small businesses or other designated groups. The requirement specifies NSN 7H-4330-014379116-X3, Technical Data Package Version 007, with a quantity of 70 units to be delivered across two DLA Distribution locations: the primary facility in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania and a secondary facility in Tracy, California. The Government has determined that the rights to use the data needed to purchase or repair this part from additional sources are not government-owned and cannot be purchased or developed, and that reverse engineering would be uneconomical, justifying the single-source procurement approach. No incumbent contractor or award value is identified in this pre-solicitation notice. Contractors should be prepared to meet the specific technical requirements outlined in the technical data package and demonstrate their capability to deliver the required quantity to both specified locations within the Government's timeframe.
