Evaluation & Source Approval
Award is contingent upon Government source approval prior to contract award, as the item is flight critical. Only previously approved sources have been solicited. New sources must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity.
If you are not an approved source, you must submit detailed source approval information with your proposal, as outlined in the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Source Approval Information Brochures (links provided in the original notice for Spares and Repair). Offers failing to provide this required data will not be considered. The time required for new source approval typically precludes delaying an award.
