Notice of Intent - Sole Source

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for thirty-three (33) custom cable assemblies. The NAICS code is 334417 and the Product/Service Code is 6150.

The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to TE Connectivity.  The proposed action is for custom cable assemblies for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii).  The basis for restricting competition is for the following reason: the custom assembly is only available from TE Connectivity.  The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to TE Connectivity using Simplified Acquisition Procedures.       

Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than July 31, 2020.  This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals.  However, all responses received by July 31, 2020 at 2:00 PM EST will be considered by the Government.  Any questions must be received via e-mail by July 30, 2020 at 2:00 PM EST.  A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.  Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
