DLA Weapons Support plans to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract for one new DN PUMA Vertical Turning Center 1620M machine, delivered and installed at the Trident Refit Facility Bangor, Naval Base Kitsap, Silverdale, WA. Delivery is due 355 days after order, followed by 30 days of Government acceptance testing. Because the Navy has already picked one source, this is mainly open to that supplier.
Watch out for
- Sole-source intent. The Government already intends to award to one source, so a small business that is not that source is unlikely to win.
