16--RECEIVER

The US Navy is soliciting a proposal for a receiver, specifically the NSN 1R-1680-LLF02N672-P8, REF NR 147A6156-20, with a quantity of 1 EA, and delivery FOB origin. The Government does not have sufficient data to purchase this part from other sources, and only previously approved sources have been solicited. Interested parties must submit the required information for source approval, and the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. Some key points to consider are: • The item is flight critical and requires Government source approval prior to contract award. • The technical data available has not been determined adequate to support acquisition via full and open competition. • The time required for approval of a new source is normally such that an award cannot be delayed pending approval of a new source. • The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source.
