The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure a Pump Unit, Centrifugal (NSN 7H-4320-013053618-A3) in a repair/modification context. The solicitation is for a single unit with delivery FOB origin, under Product Service Code 4320 for Power and Hand Pumps. The government intends to negotiate with a single source under FAR 6.302-1, acknowledging that they do not currently own the technical data rights for this part and find it uneconomical to purchase or reverse engineer the data. Potential vendors are invited to demonstrate their interest and capability by submitting proposals, quotations, or capability statements within 45 days of the publication date (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 the responses received.

This pre-solicitation notice does not include a specific set-aside designation, indicating the opportunity is open to all responsible sources. No incumbent contractor or specific award value is mentioned in the notice. The quantity is explicitly stated as 1 unit, with a technical data package (TDP) version 025 referenced. The solicitation was posted on February 14, 2025, with a response deadline of March 31, 2025. While the government's intent suggests a potential sole-source procurement, they are explicitly inviting interested parties to demonstrate their capabilities, leaving open the possibility of a competitive evaluation process. The procurement approach reflects a strategic effort to obtain a specialized pump unit with complex technical data considerations.
