Communications and Power Industries is the designer and manufacturer of this item. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The Government does not possess or cannot provide the data necessary to perform the required repairs of the item.

Further, any new design would have to be approved by the Government design agent, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division. The time required for approval of a new design is normally such that an award cannot be delayed pending approval; thus, award of the subject requirement may continue based on Fleet support needs. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement.

A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Approval of a source is required.
