Grease, aircraft

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure aircraft grease, specifically NSN 1H-9150-016209972-D7, with a technical data package (TDP) version 005. The solicitation involves 204 total units to be delivered to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine. The government intends to negotiate with a single source under FAR 6.302-1, though all responsible sources may submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements within 45 days of publication (or 30 days if awarded under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement). While this is not a competitive proposal request, the government will consider all submissions received during the specified timeframe. The ultimate determination of competitive procurement remains solely at the government's discretion.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for this contract opportunity. The procurement falls under PSC Category 9150-P for Oils and Greases, specifically focusing on cutting, lubricating, and hydraulic applications. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the notice. The contract appears to be a targeted procurement with a specific quantity and delivery location, suggesting a precise operational need for the aircraft grease. The short response window and single-source negotiation approach suggest this is a time-sensitive and potentially mission-critical supply acquisition for naval aviation maintenance or operational requirements.
