The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure 52 units of a specific switch (NSN 1H-5930-017245937-X3) with Technical Data Package (TDP) Version 001. The procurement will be delivered to DLA Distribution Norfolk, VA, and involves a unique sourcing situation where the Government does not own the data rights to purchase or repair the part from alternative sources. Due to the uneconomical nature of reverse engineering, the agency intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1 authority. While this is not a competitive solicitation, interested parties may submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements within 45 days of the notice's publication (or 30 days if awarded under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement). The Government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the proposed contract based on received responses.

There are no specific set-aside designations for this procurement, and the solicitation does not indicate a predetermined award value or budget range. The quantity requirement is fixed at 52 units, to be delivered to the specified location in Norfolk, VA. Potential vendors have 15 days from the notice's publication to identify their capability to satisfy the requirement with a commercial item. The Government has explicitly stated that FAR Part 12 policies for commercial item acquisition will not be used in this solicitation. The opportunity was initially posted on April 5, 2025, with a response deadline of May 6, 2025, providing interested parties approximately one month to prepare and submit their documentation for consideration.
