Combined Request for Information and Synopsis (25-R-0698) SPRHA1-25-R-0698
Summary
AI-generated · Aug 26, 2025Market research is being conducted to identify sources capable of supplying a gas turbine engine for power systems (NSN 2835-01-597-9583; P/N 384238-8-1) in a small quantity (3 units). The effort seeks to determine if commercial or non-developmental items are available that meet the requirement and to improve small-business access and competition. This is not a bid or contract, and the Government does not intend to contract on the basis of this notice. If interested, firms should submit a capability statement; the data rights situation is limited—only one or a few sources exist, data rights are not owned by the Government, and it is uneconomical to buy the data or to reverse-engineer the part. The notice also notes a suggested subcontracting path with Honeywell International and that foreign participation is not permitted at the prime contractor level; a 30-day window to express interest is provided.
A formal solicitation (RFP SPRHA1-25-R-0698) has been issued to procure three units of the same gas turbine engine for power systems (NSN 2835-01-597-9583; P/N 384238-8-1). This signals a transition from market research to an actual bidding opportunity. The RFP reiterates the same part numbers and quantity, and includes typical restrictions noted in the prior notice, including that foreign participation is not allowed at the prime contractor level and that items may be subject to Free Trade Agreements. Vendors should prepare to submit proposals in response to the RFP.
