Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Philadelphia, PA intends to acquire 34 units of TURRET, SENSOR-SIGHT (NSN 7R-1270-016857990-CB). This Presolicitation is a Total Small Business Set-Aside, but the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one approved source under FAR 6.302-1 due to the item's flight-critical nature and engineering source approval requirements.
Scope of Work
This requirement is for the supply of 34 units of a specific TURRET, SENSOR-SIGHT. The item is flight critical and requires engineering source approval by the design control activity. Approved sources possess unique design capabilities, engineering skills, and manufacturing/repair knowledge, as well as data rights, which are not economically available to the Government.
Special Requirements & Source Approval
- Source Approval: Only Government-approved sources have been solicited. New or alternate sources must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity.
- Qualification Process: Unapproved sources must submit detailed information from the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Source Approval Information Brochures (Spares/Repair) with their proposal. Failure to provide required data will result in non-consideration for award.
- Urgency: The time for new source approval is typically long, and award may proceed to existing approved sources based on Fleet support needs if new source approval cannot be processed in time.
- Technical Data: No drawings are available for this requirement.
