99--UNIVERSAL PRINTER I

The US Navy is seeking a universal printer for a specific requirement. The solicitation is for a commercial, non-developmental, off-the-shelf item. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. Interested parties may obtain copies of Military and Federal Specifications and Standards, Qualified Products Lists (QPLs), Qualified Product Databases (QPDs), Military Handbooks, and other standardized documents from the DoD Single Stock Point (DODSSP). Key points to consider: • The design of the part is unstable and major changes are contemplated. • The required design objectives have not been achieved, and the part has a low process yield or has demonstrated marginal performance during tests or service use. • Limited acquisition/repair from the present source is anticipated pending configuration changes. • The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1.
