Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy / NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (WSS) intends to acquire 12 units of SENSOR, ABSOLUTE, AIR (NSN 1R-5905-016339487-CL, REF NR 23090490). This is a presolicitation for a single-source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1, due to the item being flight critical and requiring engineering source approval.
Scope of Work
This requirement is for a flight-critical item where only previously approved sources are solicited. The design control activity requires engineering source approval to maintain quality, as approved sources retain data rights, manufacturing/repair knowledge, or technical data not economically available to the Government. New sources must qualify according to the design control activity's procedures, approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity.

Source Approval & Evaluation
Government source approval is required prior to contract award. If you are not an approved source, you must submit detailed information as outlined in the NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Information Brochures (Spares or Repair, links provided in the original notice) with your proposal. Offers failing to provide required source approval data will not be considered. The Government reserves the right to proceed with award based on fleet support needs if source approval requests cannot be processed in time.
Additional Notes
All responsible sources may identify their interest and capability or submit proposals. Proposals received within 45 days (or 30 days if under an existing BOA) from the publication date will be considered. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals, and the decision to not compete is solely at the Government's discretion. Information received will primarily determine if a competitive procurement is feasible. The NAVSUP WSS Commercial Item Identification Brochure is also available online.
