Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy (NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support) has issued a Presolicitation for SPLICE,CONDUCTOR (NSN 0Q-5940-017216317-V2). This is a sole source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1 for 11 units, with a critical requirement for Government source approval due to the item's flight-critical nature and unstable design. Only previously approved sources have been solicited. Responses from interested parties are due by June 22, 2026.
Scope of Requirement
This opportunity is for the procurement of 11 units of SPLICE,CONDUCTOR (NSN 0Q-5940-017216317-V2). The item's design is currently unstable, with major changes anticipated that will render the present configuration obsolete. Limited acquisition from the current source is expected pending these configuration changes. The item is flight critical, necessitating Government source approval prior to contract award, as the technical data available is not adequate to support full and open competition.
