Receiver transmit, a

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure one each of a Receiver Transmit unit identified as NSN 7R-5845-016590089-CB, which falls under the Underwater Sound Equipment category. This is a flight-critical item that requires Government source approval prior to contract award due to inadequate technical data for full and open competition, meaning only previously approved sources have been solicited. Companies not currently approved must submit comprehensive technical data as outlined in NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Source Approval Information Brochures for either spares or repair items, depending on their production experience. The evaluation will focus on whether offerors provide all required source approval documentation or can demonstrate previous submission of such data to NAVSUP WSS. Offers that fail to include the complete source approval information will not be considered for award, and the Government reserves the right to proceed with approved sources if new source evaluations cannot be completed in time to meet fleet support requirements.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is posted as a pre-solicitation notice with a due date of November 13, 2025. The contract requires delivery FOB origin for the single unit being procured, though no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the notice. No incumbent contractors or potential offerors are specifically named, as the solicitation is limited to Government-approved sources for this particular NSN. The extended timeline from the August 24, 2022 posting date to the November 2025 due date suggests this may be a recurring requirement or allows substantial time for source approval processes. The Government emphasizes that award decisions will ultimately be driven by fleet support needs and operational requirements.
