The agency plans to award to one named company. Others can only submit a capability statement to challenge it.
AI summary Beta
NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia plans to buy repairs of eight Navy H-1 helicopter FLIR (infrared camera) parts from Teledyne FLIR Defense, Inc., the original manufacturer, on a sole-source basis. The contract would last 60 months with an award expected in May 2027. Other companies may send a capability statement, but the Navy expects to award to Teledyne FLIR.
Watch out for
- Sole source to the OEM. The Navy intends to negotiate with one company and expects to award to it, so a small business has very little chance of winning.
The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.
- No data available to other sources. The Government does not own the technical data, so no one else can price or perform the repairs without the OEM.
The Government does not own the data or the rights to the data needed to purchase this part from additional sources.
- Not a small business set-aside. There is no small business preference on this buy.
This procurement is not a Total Small Business Set-Aside.
- Source approval will not delay award. A new source that submits a source approval request will not get the award held for it.
This procurement will not be delayed to wait for a SAR approval.
