How to bid on Electronic Component repair/modification for the DEPT of the Navy

What the agency is buying

The Department of the Navy needs one electronic component for repair or modification. Specifically, it is for NSN 7H-5998-013268724, part number 400100-001. This is a sole-source requirement, meaning the government intends to negotiate with only one source because it does not own the necessary data or rights to the data to purchase or contract repair from additional sources, and it is uneconomical to reverse engineer the part.

This is a Level 1 item, which will be acquired from approved sources only. Contracts will be awarded to offerors whose inspection system conforms to MIL-I-45208A or an equivalent system certified by a Joint DCMA/NAVSUP WSS Survey Team.

Key dates and deadlines

Information received will be considered to determine if a competitive procurement is feasible.

Tips for preparing a competitive response

Even though this is a sole-source intent, clearly demonstrate your firm's unique capabilities and why you are the best, or only, qualified source. Emphasize your experience with the specific electronic component mentioned (NSN 7H-5998-013268724, part number 400100-001).

Provide detailed evidence that your inspection system meets MIL-I-45208A or an equivalent standard, including any certifications from a Joint DCMA/NAVSUP WSS Survey Team. If you are not yet certified, explain your plan to achieve this certification promptly. Ensure your response addresses all aspects of the requirement, including your ability to deliver to Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation in San Dimas, CA.

If you believe you can satisfy the Government's requirement with a commercial item, you may identify your interest and capability to the contracting officer within 15 days of the notice.
