Efforts to Solicit & Future Actions
Previous market research included a Request for Information/Sources Sought Notice posted on August 7, 2025, and a synopsis posted on August 21, 2025, both of which received no responses. While this is an intent to sole-source, all responsible sources may submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements within 45 days of the original synopsis publication (or 15 days for commercial items). Information received will be considered to determine if a competitive procurement is feasible. The Government will continue to encourage vendors with the expertise to manufacture/repair the subject item to submit a complete technical data package (TDP) for review and source approval to promote future competition.
Evaluation
The anticipated contract action will be a firm-fixed-price award. If competitive proposals were to be received, evaluation would be based on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable cost.
