Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy (NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Mech) intends to award a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract for the repair and modification of TAPE DRIVE CHASSIS (NSN 7H-5998-016615786). This is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source under FAR 6.302-1, as the Government does not own the necessary data rights and deems it uneconomical to acquire them or reverse engineer the part. While the Government intends to solicit only one source, all responsible sources are invited to identify their interest and capability. Quotes/Statements of Capability are due by Close of Business on May 14, 2026.
