Receiver, AIS, in repair/modification of

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is issuing a pre-solicitation notice for the repair and modification of AIS receivers, specifically NSN 7G-7025-016418369 under TDP version 001. The procurement involves three units to be delivered FOB origin, with the government lacking ownership of the technical data rights necessary to competitively source this repair work from multiple vendors. The agency has determined it would be uneconomical to purchase the data rights or reverse engineer the components, leading to their intent to negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1 authority. While this is structured as a sole-source procurement, the government will consider all proposals, quotations, or capability statements received within 45 days of publication (or 30 days if awarded under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement). The final determination whether to proceed competitively remains at the government's discretion based on responses received.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and will be open to all responsible sources who can demonstrate relevant capability. The notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide specific budget ranges for the anticipated award. The key numerical requirements include a quantity of three receiver units with delivery scheduled by September 15, 2025, following the pre-solicitation period that began March 28, 2025. The procurement falls under PSC category 7E20 for IT and telecommunications equipment, specifically end-user hardware and productivity tools. The government's approach reflects the technical complexity and proprietary nature of the AIS receiver systems requiring specialized repair capabilities.
