The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Navy through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support, is seeking to procure 40 units of a specialized component known as the "Nut, Plain, Plate" (P/N: 4166AS0825-03, NSN: 1R-5310-016829798-BL) on a sole source basis from KIHOMAC INC. This procurement is critical as the government does not possess the necessary data or rights to source this item from alternative suppliers, emphasizing the unique nature of the requirement. Interested parties are invited to submit capability statements or proposals within 45 days of this notice, although the government intends to negotiate exclusively with KIHOMAC INC. For further inquiries, interested vendors can contact Kate N. Schalck at (215) 697-1020 or via email at kate.n.schalck.civ@us.navy.mil.
