Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy / NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support is issuing a presolicitation for a Circuit Card Assembly (NSN 0R-5998-016932359-P8, REF NR 1194935-2). This is a sole-source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1 due to the item's flight-critical nature and the lack of adequate technical data for full and open competition. The design of this part is currently unstable, with major changes contemplated. Government source approval is required prior to contract award. Interested parties must submit capability statements within 45 days of the published date (by March 29, 2026).
Scope of Requirement
This requirement is for one (1) Circuit Card Assembly, identified by NSN 0R-5998-016932359-P8, REF NR 1194935-2. The item's design is currently unstable, exhibiting low process yield and marginal performance, necessitating major changes that will render the present part obsolete. Limited acquisition/repair from the present source is anticipated pending these configuration changes. The item is flight critical.
Contract & Acquisition Strategy
The proposed contract action is a sole-source acquisition under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, with the Government intending to negotiate with only one source. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all responsible sources may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements. Information received will be considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
Source Approval Process
Government source approval is mandatory for this item. Only previously approved sources have been solicited. New sources must submit detailed information as outlined in the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Source Approval Information Brochures (links provided in the original notice for Spares and Repair). The time required for new source approval is typically long, and award may not be delayed pending approval if it impacts Fleet support needs. Offers failing to provide required source approval data will not be considered. Award is contingent on meeting qualification requirements per FAR clause 52.209-1.
