There is a lack of competition due to the constraints placed on components that the Government uses in the sustainment from the original design.

Since the Government is sustaining systems 40+ years old, the availability of parts can be scarce, especially specialty components being procured, as identified in the paragraph above. The NAICS Code is (334511) and the Small Business Size Standard is (1,350). PSC Code is 5895. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes; however, any responsible source believing that it can fulfill the requirement may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation.
