Gage, differential, D, in repair/modification of

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure a Differential Gage (NSN 7H-6685-015231088) with Technical Data Package (TDP) Version 002, requiring one unit to be delivered FOB Origin. The procurement is unique because the government does not own the data or rights to obtain repair from alternative sources, and has determined it would be uneconomical to purchase the data rights or reverse engineer the part. This solicitation will be conducted under FAR 6.302-1, allowing negotiation with a single source, though all responsible sources are invited to demonstrate their interest and capability. Potential vendors have 45 days from the publication date (or 30 days if awarded under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement) to submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements. The government retains full discretion to determine whether to proceed with a competitive procurement based on the responses received.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations for this contract opportunity. The procurement falls under PSC Category 6685 for Pressure, Temperature, and Humidity Measuring and Controlling Instruments. While the exact award value is not specified, the contract is for a single unit of the specified gage. The opportunity was initially posted on January 29, 2025, with a response deadline of March 17, 2025. The procurement is categorized as a defense-related acquisition, specifically through the Naval Supply Systems Command. The government's approach suggests a highly specialized procurement with limited competitive potential due to the unique nature of the required equipment and associated technical data.
