The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Navy through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Mechanics, is seeking to procure an Anode Assembly, Rope Guard, identified by NSN 7H-5342-015920733. The procurement involves a quantity of 8 units, with delivery terms set as FOB Origin, and the government intends to negotiate with only one source due to the lack of available data rights for this part, making it uneconomical to pursue alternative sources or reverse engineering. This component is critical for weapon systems hardware, and interested parties are encouraged to express their capabilities within 45 days of this notice, although the government retains discretion over the competitive procurement process. For further inquiries, interested vendors can contact Madison Gray at (717) 605-4056 or via email at MADISON.M.GRAY4.CIV@US.NAVY.MIL.
