The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (Lakehurst) plans to buy one Land Based Air Conditioner for the E-2D aircraft, a Foreign Military Sales purchase for Japan, without competition from HDT Global. Other companies may send a capability statement or quote, but the Navy says it is not asking for competing proposals.
Watch out for
- Sole-source award intended. The Navy plans to award to HDT Global without competition, so another company has a low chance unless it shows it can meet the requirement.
intends to issue an award on a non-competitive basis to HDT Global (Cage 92878)
- Only one source claimed. The Navy justifies the award by saying only one company can meet its needs, so you would need to prove otherwise.
Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
- Not a request for competitive proposals. Responding does not mean you will be considered for the award; the Government may still choose not to compete.
