Indicator, LIQ level

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure 7 units of an NSN 7H-6680-015688566 liquid level indicator with Technical Data Package (TDP) version 003. The agency has determined that obtaining data rights or reverse engineering the part would be uneconomical, and therefore intends to negotiate with a single source under FAR 6.302-1 authority. While the notice is not a formal competitive solicitation, interested parties may submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements within 45 days of publication (or 30 days if awarded under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement). The government retains sole discretion to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received. Proposals will be evaluated primarily to assess potential sources' capabilities to fulfill the specific technical requirements for this unique item.

This pre-solicitation notice does not indicate any specific set-aside designations for small businesses or other preferred vendors. The procurement is classified under Product Service Code 6680 for liquid and gas flow measuring instruments, with delivery specified as FOB Origin. No specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated in the notice. The quantity is limited to 7 units, and the reference number for the item is 0373-0024-4. The government's intent appears focused on securing a specialized component with unique technical specifications that cannot be easily sourced through conventional competitive bidding processes. Potential offerors will need to demonstrate precise technical capabilities and alignment with the specific requirements of this naval supply contract.
