Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy / NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT MECH intends to award a sole source contract for VALVE, RELIEF (NSN 1H-4820-016033166-X3). This action is justified under FAR 6.302-1 because the Government does not own the data rights and reverse engineering is uneconomical. This is a Notice of Intent (NOI), not a request for competitive proposals. All responsible sources may identify their interest and capability. Responses are due by June 10, 2025.
Scope of Work
This requirement is for 3 units of VALVE, RELIEF (NSN 1H-4820-016033166-X3, TDP VER 004). Delivery is required at two locations:
- W25G1U, W1A8 DLA DISTRIBUTION, NEW CUMBERLAND, PA 17070-5002
- W62G2T, W1A8 DLA DIST SAN JOAQUIN, TRACY, CA 95304-5000
The Government's intent to solicit and negotiate with only one source is based on the unavailability of data rights for additional sources and the uneconomical nature of reverse engineering the part.
