The Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Philadelphia, PA, is seeking to procure 59 units of a gas engine starter, identified by NSN 7R-2995-013201315-VH and reference number 3505300-6-1. This procurement is critical as the Government lacks adequate data or rights to data necessary for contracting the repair of this part from additional sources, emphasizing the specialized nature of the item. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their interest and capability statements within 45 days of this presolicitation notice, as the Government intends to negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1.
