Quick Summary
The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst is establishing multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components (PSC 1680). This combined synopsis/solicitation invites Small Businesses to become prospective vendors on these BPAs, which will facilitate expeditious procurement of requirements. Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis, with an initial deadline of March 11, 2026, at 1:00 PM EST.
Opportunity Details
NAWCAD Lakehurst supports Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment (ALRE), Common Support Equipment (CSE), and Peculiar Support Equipment (PSE). The BPAs will be used to compete requirements through the Lakehurst BPA Tool. A BPA is a streamlined method for acquiring supplies and services on an as-needed basis and is not a contract itself. Individual requirements will not be posted outside of the BPA commodity.
Contract Structure & Set-Aside
- Type: Multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (FAR Part 13).
- Set-Aside: This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5). The Non-manufacturer rule (FAR Part 19.505(c)) applies, requiring non-manufacturers to have fewer than 500 employees.
- Duration: BPAs will be established on a rolling basis, with periodic re-synopsizing. The draft BPA indicates a master dollar limit of $4,999,999.00 for five (5) years.
- Call Limits: Individual call orders shall not exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold or $7.5M (FAR 13.500). The draft BPA specifies individual calls not to exceed $250,000.00.
- Payment: Government Credit cards or Wide Area Workflow (WAWF).
- Delivery: Normally FOB Destination to Joint Base MDL, NJ.
- Obligation: There is no minimum or maximum government obligation. BPAs may be cancelled for inactivity or poor performance.
Submission & Bidding Process
Interested parties must submit their Cage Code and Unique Entity Identifier (UEID) for SAM verification, along with a capabilities statement detailing their primary business practice/trade and whether they are a manufacturer or supplier/distributor. A copy of a current, approved DD Form 2345 is also requested for access to export-controlled drawings.
Once a BPA is issued, solicitations for individual requirements will be communicated via email from NAVAIR_Acquisition@us.navy.mil, including an Excel attachment with requirement details. Bids are submitted by completing the Line Item Input tab in the Excel file and replying to the original solicitation email. Offers for individual RFQs will typically have one business day to respond. Award will generally be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer.
