The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is procuring filters and networks components, specifically NSN 1H-5915-016602413-X3 (TDP Version 003). This is a pre-solicitation notice indicating the agency's intent to solicit and negotiate with a single source under FAR 6.302-1 authority due to data rights restrictions and the uneconomical nature of reverse engineering this part. However, the notice explicitly invites all responsible sources to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations to express their interest and capability to respond. The Government will evaluate all submissions received within 45 days of the notice publication (30 days if award is under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement) to determine whether to proceed with a competitive procurement. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on January 15, 2026, with a response deadline of February 16, 2026, allowing interested parties approximately one month to prepare and submit their responses. The Government reserves discretion to make a determination not to compete based on the responses received.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and involves a requirement for 32 units with delivery on a FOB Origin basis. No incumbent contractor or current contractor information is identified in this notice. The pre-solicitation does not specify an award value or budget range for this requirement. With a quantity of 32 units and the specialized nature of the component (indicated by its NSN classification), interested contractors should be prepared to demonstrate their capability to supply this specific part and their understanding of the associated technical data package requirements. The timeline from pre-solicitation to formal solicitation is expected to be relatively compressed, making early preparation and capability assessment critical for potential respondents.
