Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy / NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT MECH intends to award a sole source contract for SWITCH, W/RETRO KIT (NSN 7H-5930-016782456-X3). This action is justified under FAR 6.302-1, citing the Government's lack of data rights and the uneconomical nature of reverse engineering. While the intent is sole source, responsible sources may submit capability statements. The opportunity is listed with a Total Small Business Set-Aside. Capability statements are due May 21, 2026.
Scope of Work
This requirement is for 3 kits of SWITCH, W/RETRO KIT (NSN 7H-5930-016782456-X3, TDP VER 002). Deliveries are required for DLA Distribution, New Cumberland, PA and DLA Dist San Joaquin, Tracy, CA.
