DDG 125 is obligated under a Memorandum of Understanding to replenish the inventory to DDG 135. The proposed contract is a Firm-Fixed-Price sole source award under simplified acquisition procedures (FAR Part 13).

This notice is not a request for competitive proposals or quotations. No award will be made on the basis of unsolicited quotations or offers. Competitors asserting that competition would be advantageous to the Government must submit clear, compelling, and convincing evidence to james.j.obbanya.civ@us.navy.mil.
