Transmitter, liquid

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure a Transmitter, Liquid (NSN 7H-6680-013682252, TDP VER 003) through a non-competitive procurement under FAR 6.302-1 authority. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with a single source, as it has determined that the data rights necessary to purchase or repair this part from alternative sources are unavailable and uneconomical to obtain or reverse engineer. All responsible sources may submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements to express their interest and capability to meet this requirement. Proposals received within 45 days of the notice publication (30 days if award is under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement) will be considered, though the Government retains sole discretion to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received. The submission deadline is April 13, 2026, and interested parties have 15 days from the notice date to identify their capability to satisfy the requirement with a commercial item.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to small business concerns. The contract calls for delivery of six units to two Defense Logistics Agency distribution locations: the primary location at DLA Distribution in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania (W25G1U, W1A8), and a secondary delivery point at DLA Distribution San Joaquin in Tracy, California (W62G2T, W1A8). No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, and no incumbent contractors are identified. The notice was posted on October 11, 2025, providing potential offerors with a six-month window from posting to the April 13, 2026 due date to prepare and submit their responses. The Government's determination not to compete this procurement is based on market research and the unique circumstances surrounding the unavailability of technical data for alternative sources.
