Seal, assembly

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure 45 units of seal assemblies under NSN 7H-5330-015408106-L1, classified as packing and gasket materials. The agency intends to pursue a sole source procurement under FAR 6.302-1 authority, as the government does not own the data rights necessary to contract with additional sources and has determined it would be uneconomical to purchase the data rights or reverse engineer the part. While this is intended as a non-competitive procurement, all responsible sources may express interest and capability to respond to the requirement within 45 days of the June 10, 2025 posting date, or within 30 days if an award is issued under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement. The government will consider all proposals, quotations, or capability statements received during this timeframe solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement instead. The response deadline is July 15, 2025, with delivery terms specified as FOB Origin.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all responsible sources despite the sole source intent. The contract calls for delivery of exactly 45 units of the seal assembly components, with the government referencing Technical Data Package version 005 for specifications. No incumbent contractor or current service provider is specifically identified in the notice, nor are any potential award values or budget ranges disclosed. The notice emphasizes that any determination to maintain the sole source approach rather than compete the requirement remains entirely at the government's discretion based on responses received. The procurement falls under the federal supply class for packing and gasket materials, indicating these are likely specialized sealing components for naval equipment or systems.
