Pump, centrifugal, in repair/modification of

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure 9 units of a centrifugal pump with National Stock Number 7H-4320-017177442 under a pre-solicitation notice. The solicitation indicates that the government does not own the technical data package (TDP) or rights to contract repair from multiple sources, making this a potential single-source procurement under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1. The agency will accept proposals, quotations, or capability statements from interested sources within 45 days of the publication date (or 30 days if awarded under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement). Potential contractors must demonstrate their capability to fulfill the specific pump repair/modification requirements. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on the responses received.

The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, meaning the opportunity appears open to all qualified contractors. Delivery of the pumps is specified as FOB Origin, and the technical data package version is 003. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the notice. The procurement is categorized under Product Service Code 4320-P for Power and Hand Pumps, suggesting specialized technical expertise may be required. While the notice invites all responsible sources to express interest, the government has already determined that purchasing data rights or reverse engineering the part would be uneconomical, which may limit potential competition.
