Switch

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure 39 switches (NSN 1H-5930-017245755-X3) with Technical Data Package (TDP) Version 001, to be delivered to DLA Distribution Norfolk in Virginia. The procurement is intended to be a single-source contract under FAR 6.302-1, indicating unique or specialized requirements that limit competitive bidding. The Government will consider proposals, quotations, or capability statements submitted within 45 days of the notice's publication (or 30 days if awarded under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement). Interested vendors must demonstrate their capability to satisfy the specific requirements, noting that the Government does not own the rights to the data needed to purchase or repair this part and considers reverse engineering uneconomical. The contracting officer will evaluate submissions to determine whether to proceed with a competitive procurement.

No specific set-aside has been designated for this contract opportunity. The procurement involves a relatively small quantity of 39 switches, suggesting a potentially limited contract value. The notice explicitly states that commercial item policies from FAR Part 12 will not be used in this solicitation, which may indicate specialized or military-specific technical requirements. Vendors interested in providing a commercial item alternative have a 15-day window from the notice's publication to communicate their capabilities to the contracting officer. The delivery location is specified as SW3117 at DLA Distribution Norfolk in Norfolk, Virginia 23511-0001. The final determination on whether to compete the contract will be solely at the Government's discretion based on the responses received.
