Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, specifically NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (WSS) Mechanicsburg, has issued a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition for the repair and overhaul of 11 THERMAL IMAGING SYSTEMS (NSN 5855-01-558-2850). This action, to be performed in Melbourne, FL, is for an FMS repair requirement, with an estimated value of $1,057,619.20. The justification cites that the government does not possess the necessary data or rights for repair, making the manufacturer the sole responsible source. The expected final delivery date is December 27, 2024.
Scope of Work
This requirement involves the acquisition of 11 units of the THERMAL IMAGING SYSTEM for repair and overhaul. The ultimate awardee must be a NAVSEA DSOR approved certified repair depot. The government will not delay award for uncertified sources to obtain certification.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (Sole Source)
- Estimated Value: $1,057,619.20 (Unit Price: $96,147.20)
- Period of Performance: Expected Final Delivery Date 12/27/2024
- Published: May 1, 2026
Justification & Eligibility
This procurement is justified under the authority of 10 USC 3204(A)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, which permits acquisition from only one responsible source. The rationale is that the government does not own the data or rights to repair the item, and reverse engineering is uneconomical. Market research was conducted, and no other contractors expressed interest. A class waiver for posting a Sources Sought Notice applies.
Additional Notes
While this is a sole-source justification and not an open competition, NAVSUP WSS encourages vendors with relevant expertise to submit technical data packages for source approval for future requirements.
