NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (Navy) plans to buy 20 repair/modification units of an encryption-decryption item (NSN 7R-5810-016436601-CC), delivered FOB origin. The Navy intends to negotiate with only one source (FAR 6.302-1), and only previously approved sources have been solicited. Other companies can still submit a proposal if they include source approval information.
Watch out for
Sole-source intent. The Navy plans to negotiate with one source, so a new company has a low chance of winning unless it is already approved. the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1
Source approval takes time. Approval of a new source normally takes longer than the award timeline, so the award may go ahead without waiting for you. The time required for approval of a new source is normally such that an award cannot be delayed pending approval of a new source.
Technical data package needed. The work is built to a specific technical data package (TDP), which a bidder must be able to meet.
