53--GASKET

The Department of Defense, through the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support office, is seeking to procure 100 units of a specific gasket (NSN 1R-5330-016914866-BL, P/N 4222AS0149-07) from Baker & Associates Inc., the sole source identified for this requirement. This procurement is critical as the gasket is essential for maintaining operational readiness and support for military equipment, and no alternative sources are available due to the lack of drawings or data. Interested parties have 45 days from the notice to submit capability statements or proposals for consideration, although the government intends to award the contract to the sole source identified, with an anticipated award date in January 2026.
