Quick Summary

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Philadelphia, PA has issued a Presolicitation for Specialized Shipping and Storage Containers (NSN 6K-8145-014375024-SY). This requirement is for 50 units and is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside. A critical aspect of this opportunity is the mandatory Government source approval for the specific part, which is flight critical. Responses are due March 30, 2026.

Scope of Work

This presolicitation seeks to acquire 50 EA of NSN 6K-8145-014375024-SY, Technical Data Package (TDP) Version 025, Reference Number 21C14061. The delivery term is FOB Origin. This part requires engineering source approval due to its unique design, specialized engineering skills, and manufacturing/repair knowledge held by existing qualified sources. The approved sources retain data rights or technical data not economically available to the Government, essential for maintaining part quality.

Source Approval Requirements

The subject item requires Government source approval prior to contract award, as it is flight critical and/or technical data is insufficient for full and open competition. Only previously approved sources have been solicited.

New Sources: Must submit detailed qualification information with their proposal, as outlined in the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Source Approval Information Brochures (Spares or Repair). Links to these brochures are provided in the original notice.
Existing Source Approval Requests: If a request is currently under evaluation at NAVSUP WSS, a copy of the cover letter forwarding the request must be submitted with the offer.
Non-Compliance: Offers failing to provide all required source approval data will not be considered for award.
Timeline: The time required for new source approval is typically such that an award cannot be delayed. If evaluation of a source approval request cannot be processed in time, or approval requirements preclude timely acquisition, award may proceed based on Fleet support needs.
