Repair of NIIN 014488491

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking repair services for a Head-Up Display Unit (NIIN 014488491, Part # 1500-0880-001) classified under flight instruments (PSC 6610). This pre-solicitation notice indicates the Navy's intent to solicit on a sole source basis, suggesting that specific qualifications or technical requirements may limit competition to a single qualified contractor. The procurement falls within the Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing category (NAICS 334511), reflecting the specialized nature of the avionics equipment involved. While detailed evaluation criteria are not specified in this pre-solicitation notice, the sole source designation suggests that technical compatibility, manufacturer expertise, and repair capability will be critical factors in the award decision. The due date for responses to this opportunity is April 30, 2026, providing potential contractors with a 17-day window to prepare and submit their proposals.

This procurement involves no set-aside designations for small businesses or other special categories. Rockwell Collins, identified by CAGE code 84T51, has been identified as the intended sole source contractor, indicating the Navy's preliminary determination that this entity possesses unique technical qualifications for repairing this specific display unit. The contract involves a quantity of one unit requiring repair, suggesting this is a specialized maintenance action rather than a bulk procurement. No explicit budget range or award value is provided in this pre-solicitation notice, though the nature of avionics repair typically involves moderate to substantial costs depending on the extent of damage or required refurbishment. Interested contractors should note that the sole source justification will be subject to review, and alternative qualified contractors meeting the technical requirements may have opportunities to compete if they can demonstrate equivalent capabilities.
