Submission & Evaluation
The government requires spare parts that are form, fit, and functionally interchangeable.

The government does not possess the data rights required for competitive procurement, and reverse engineering is deemed uneconomical (AMSC P).
Market research, including a Sources Sought Notice posted on SAM.gov on August 26, 2025, and a general internet search, did not identify any additional potential sources.
