Transmitter, liquid

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure a Liquid Transmitter (NSN 7H-6680-013682251) under a sole-source contract authority per FAR 6.302-1. The Government does not own the technical data or rights necessary to purchase or repair this part from alternative sources, and reverse engineering has been determined to be uneconomical, necessitating the single-source approach. The solicitation will be open to all responsible sources to identify their interest and capability, though competitive negotiations are not anticipated. The Government will consider all proposals, quotations, or capability statements received within 45 days of the notice publication; however, interested parties may also identify commercial item solutions within 15 days of this notice if available. The contract is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting eligibility to certified small business concerns.

The requirement calls for the delivery of six units to two separate Defense Logistics Agency distribution locations: the primary distribution center in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, and the secondary location at DLA Distribution San Joaquin in Tracy, California. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, nor is an incumbent contractor or current supplier identified. The posting was published on October 29, 2025, with a response deadline of April 13, 2026, providing interested parties approximately six months to submit their interest or proposals. The fact that the Government is not pursuing commercial item acquisition policies under FAR Part 12 indicates this is a specialized, non-commercial government repair or supply requirement. Small businesses meeting the requirement's technical specifications and capability standards are encouraged to submit their interest during the designated response period.
