Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support, has issued a Presolicitation for a Protective Cap (NSN 1R-9999-LLCKCA230-VA). This requirement is for 1 EA with FOB Origin delivery. The Government lacks sufficient data for full and open competition, and the item is flight critical, requiring Government source approval prior to contract award. Only previously approved sources have been solicited. Responses are due by June 12, 2026.
Scope of Requirement
This opportunity is for a specific protective cap. Due to the item's flight-critical nature and insufficient technical data for open competition, source approval is mandatory. The Government will only consider offers from previously approved sources or those who submit comprehensive source approval information with their proposal. New source approval typically takes time, and award may proceed based on fleet support needs if approval cannot be processed in time.
Source Approval & Technical Data
- Mandatory Source Approval: Bidders must be Government-approved sources.
- New Sources: If not approved, submit detailed information as per NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Information Brochures (links provided in the original notice for Spares and Repair).
- Existing Requests: If a source approval request is pending, include a copy of the cover letter with the offer.
- Failure to Comply: Offers lacking required source approval data or documentation of previous submission will not be considered.
- Commercial Items: While market research indicates FAR Part 12 is not being used, interested parties can identify their capability to satisfy the requirement with a commercial item within 15 days of the notice publication (May 5, 2026).
- Specifications: Military and Federal Specifications/Standards, QPLs, QPDs, and Handbooks can be obtained from DODSSP via ASSIST-Online (http://quicksearch.dla.mil/).
