Quick Summary
The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst is seeking Small Businesses to establish Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for Sets, Kits, and outfits of handtools (PSC 5180). This combined synopsis/solicitation invites qualified vendors to join a rolling BPA program designed to streamline the acquisition of supplies for Naval operations. Responses are due by March 11, 2026, 1:00 PM EST.
Purpose & Scope
NAWCAD Lakehurst intends to issue multiple BPAs under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (FAR Part 13) to support its operational needs. A BPA is a streamlined method for acquiring supplies and services on an as-needed basis, not a contract itself. The master BPA limit is $4,999,999.00 over a five-year period. Individual call orders will be firm fixed-price and shall not exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (currently $250,000) or $7.5M under FAR 13.500 for commercial products/services.
Set-Aside & Eligibility
This opportunity 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. Interested parties must be registered in SAM.gov with a valid CAGE Code and Unique Entity Identifier (UEID).
Submission Requirements
Prospective vendors must submit:
- CAGE Code and UEID.
- A capabilities statement detailing their primary business practice/trade and whether they are a manufacturer or supplier/distributor.
- A copy of their current, approved DD Form 2345 for verification, especially if dealing with export-controlled drawings. While not mandatory for BPA issuance, it is required to receive such drawings.
Response Process & Evaluation
Responses to this combined synopsis/solicitation will be reviewed for qualifications, leading to the award of BPAs. Responsibility determinations will be conducted per FAR Part 9.104. NAWCAD Lakehurst utilizes a new BPA tool; individual solicitations for call orders will be sent via email (from NAVAIR_Acquisition@us.navy.mil) with an Excel attachment. Bids are submitted by completing the "Line Item Input" tab in the Excel file and replying to the original email. Awards for individual calls will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer. BPAs may be cancelled for inactivity or poor performance.
