Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS), has issued a presolicitation for the procurement and repair of NRP, BOTTLE FE - 36 - AND SIMILAR REPLACEMENT PARTS (NSN 7R-1680-016098991-P8). This requirement is for 35 units, FOB Origin. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1 due to engineering source approval requirements for this flight-critical item.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for NSN 7R-1680-016098991-P8, TDP VER 001, QTY 35 EA. This part is flight critical and requires engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain quality. Existing unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing/repair knowledge by qualified sources necessitate acquisition from approved sources. The approved sources retain data rights or technical data not economically available to the Government.
Source Approval Requirements
An alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity. Government source approval is required prior to contract award. Only previously approved sources have been solicited. New source approval typically takes too long to delay an award. If not an approved source, submit detailed information as per NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Information Brochures (Spares: https://www.navsup.navy.mil/NAVSUP-Enterprise/NAVSUP-Weapon-Systems-Support/Business-Opps/, Repair: https://www.navsup.navy.mil/NAVSUP-Enterprise/NAVSUP-Weapon-Systems-Support/Business-Opps/).
