Source Approval Requirements
Due to the item being flight critical and/or technical data inadequacy for full and open competition, Government source approval is mandatory before contract award. The time required for new source approval typically prevents award delays. If you are not an approved source, you must submit, with your proposal, the information detailed in one of the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Source Approval Information Brochures (Spares: https://www.navsup.navy.mil/NAVSUP-Enterprise/NAVSUP-Weapon-Systems-Support/Business-Opps/ or Repair: https://www.navsup.navy.mil/NAVSUP-Enterprise/NAVSUP-Weapon-Systems-Support/Business-Opps/). Offers failing to provide all required data or documentation of previous submission will not be considered. The NAVSUP WSS Commercial Item Identification Brochure is also available at the provided link.
Additional Notes
If a source approval request cannot be processed in time or approval requirements preclude timely acquisition, award may proceed based on Fleet support needs.
