Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy (NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Mech) intends to award a sole-source contract for LI CV FRTPNL UC BAR (NSN 1H-5340-017272806-X3). This presolicitation notice seeks interest from responsible sources capable of providing 64 units of this hardware. The government plans to negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1 due to proprietary data rights and the uneconomical nature of reverse engineering. Responses identifying interest and capability are due by March 16, 2026.
Scope of Work
This requirement is for the acquisition of 64 units of LI CV FRTPNL UC BAR (NSN 1H-5340-017272806-X3, TDP VER 001). Deliveries are required for DLA Distribution centers in New Cumberland, PA (W25G1U) and Tracy, CA (W62G2T). The item has an AMC/AMSC of 4P, indicating acquisition directly from the actual manufacturer for the first time.

Evaluation
The Government will consider all proposals, quotations, or capability statements received within 45 days of publication (or 30 days for BOA) for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination not to compete is solely at the Government's discretion. Award is contingent upon the offeror, product/service, or manufacturer meeting qualification requirements per FAR clause 52.209-1.
Additional Notes
The Government does not own the data rights for this part, and reverse engineering is uneconomical, justifying the sole-source intent. While FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Items) is not being used, interested parties may identify their capability to satisfy the requirement with a commercial item within 15 days of this notice. The acquisition may be subject to Free Trade Agreements and the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement.
