Hatch, 24"X30", flush

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure one 24"x30" flush hatch unit under NSN 3H-9999-LLCYC6277. This pre-solicitation notice indicates the government's intent to negotiate with only one source due to proprietary data rights limitations, as the government does not own the technical data package or data rights necessary to enable competitive procurement from multiple sources. The agency has determined it would be uneconomical to purchase the data rights or reverse engineer the part, making sole source procurement the preferred approach. While this is not a request for competitive quotes, interested firms may still identify their capability to respond to the requirement or submit quotes for government consideration. The deadline for submissions is August 18, 2025, and all firms must include their CAGE code on solicitation requests.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is classified under PSC category 9999 for miscellaneous items. The contract requires delivery FOB origin for the single hatch unit, with no specific incumbent or current contractor identified in the notice. No award values or budget ranges are disclosed in this pre-solicitation announcement. The government reserves full discretion in determining whether to proceed with competitive procurement based on responses received, though the technical data rights constraints strongly indicate sole source acquisition will be the likely outcome. The relatively short timeframe from posting to deadline suggests an urgent operational requirement for this specialized hatch component.
