Evaluation
The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source. However, all responsible sources may identify their interest and capability. If you are not an approved source, you must submit detailed source approval information as outlined in the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Source Approval Information Brochures (links provided in the original notice). Offers failing to provide required source approval data will not be considered. The Government's decision not to compete based on responses is solely at its discretion.
Additional Notes
New sources must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity.
