AI summary Beta
The Navy (NAWCAD Lakehurst) plans to buy two F/A-18 Support Rail Engine Adapters from one named company, The Rhinestahl Corporation, without competition. Delivery is for Joint Base MDL, NJ. Other companies can send a response within fifteen days, but this is not a request for proposals.
Watch out for
- Sole source to a named company. The Navy intends to award to Rhinestahl only, so a new bidder would have to show it can meet the need to change that.
THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS.
- Responses unlikely to open competition. A response only affects whether the Navy decides to compete the buy.
A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based on the responses to this notice will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
