N00164-20-Q-0102 – SOLE SOURCE – BRU-65 DEPOT REPAIR KIT – FSG 1680- NAICS 334111, ISSUE DATE 03 JUN 2020 – CLOSING DATE 10 JUN 2020 – 3:00 PM EASTERN TIME

ITEM DESCRIPTION- Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for the purchase of BRU-65 Depot Repair Kit, Part# 1216N018K001A.

The proposed contract action is for the supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, ALKAN, Rue du 8 Mai 1945, 94460 Valenton (France) under the authority of FAR 13.106-1. This is being sole sourced because ALKAN is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the existing Aircraft Bomb Ejector Rack, BRU-65/A.  ALKAN has the expertise, knowledge and exclusive proprietary rights required to manufacture all assemblies, subassemblies, parts, special tooling and test equipment as well as providing training as requested as related to the existing BRU-65/A. This compatibility eliminates the need to re-write existing contractual agreements between the government and ALKAN. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which shall be considered by the agency.  However, a determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
