Quick Summary
The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst is establishing multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for Aircraft Landing Equipment (ALRE), Common Support Equipment (CSE), and Peculiar Support Equipment (PSE). This initiative aims to streamline the procurement of these items for Naval operations. This opportunity is a Total Small Business Set-Aside, with the government intending to award BPAs exclusively to small businesses. Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis, with an initial deadline of March 11, 2026, at 1:00 PM EST.
Purpose & Scope
The primary purpose is to create a pool of qualified small business vendors through BPAs, enabling NAWCAD Lakehurst to more expeditiously acquire various aircraft support equipment. These BPAs are not contracts themselves but serve as streamlined methods for acquiring supplies on an as-needed basis. Individual requirements will be competed among BPA holders.
Contract Details
- Type: Multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs). Individual calls/orders will be Firm Fixed-Price.
- Set-Aside: Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5).
- BPA Master Dollar Limit: $4,999,999.00 for a five-year period.
- Individual Call Limit: Not to exceed $250,000, or the Simplified Acquisition Threshold/FAR 13.500 authority up to $7.5M for commercial items.
- Payment: Government Credit Cards or Wide Area Workflow (WAWF).
- Delivery: Normally FOB Destination to Lakehurst, NJ.
Submission Requirements
Interested parties must submit the following via email to karin.a.quagliato.civ@us.navy.mil (subject line: N6833525Q0321):
- Cage Code and Unique Entity Identifier (UEID) for SAM verification.
- A capabilities statement detailing the company's primary business practice/trade and whether it is a manufacturer or supplier/distributor.
- A copy of a current, approved DD Form 2345 if export-controlled drawings are applicable to their offerings. (Vendors without this form may still receive a BPA but may be ineligible for certain drawings).
Evaluation & Award Process
Responsibility determinations will be conducted per FAR Part 9.104. The Non-manufacturer rule (FAR Part 19.505(c)) applies, requiring non-manufacturers to have fewer than 500 employees. Individual calls for requirements will be posted on an applicable procurement site, and vendors will typically have one business day to submit offers. Awards for individual calls will be made to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable, exact match offer. Vendors will be notified of RFQs via email with an Excel attachment for bidding.
Important Notes
There is no minimum or maximum government obligation under these BPAs. BPAs may be cancelled or not renewed if a company does not actively participate or consistently demonstrates poor performance. NAWCAD Lakehurst intends to re-synopsize periodically to add new vendors.
