The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Navy through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support, is seeking proposals for the procurement of 240 units of the cover plate A00, identified by NSN 1R-1560-016554764-B4 and reference number 3361861-13. This procurement is critical as the design of the part is currently unstable, necessitating major changes to improve its performance and reliability, which may render the existing configuration obsolete. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their proposals within 45 days of this notice, as the government intends to negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1, with all inquiries directed to Kathryn Elechko at (215) 697-2782 or via email at KATHRYN.ELECHKO.CIV@US.NAVY.MIL.
