Closing date extended to 23 Aug 2021 Data Item A001 (inspection and Test Plan) may be waived if already on file at NAVSUP WSS Mech. 2.Drawings associated with this solicitation will be made available on the new beta.SAM website, but will be restricted access which needs tobe approved. Once access has been requested, interested vendors should email the POC listed on the solicitation to inform them of the request. 3. NAVSUP WSS Mech will be considering past performance AND delivery daysin the evaluation of offers. See Clause 252.213-7000. 4. All contractual documents (i.e. contracts, purchase orders, task orders, delivery orders, and modifications) related to the instant procurement are considered to be "issued" by the Government when copies are eitherdeposited in the mail, transmitted by facsimile, or sent by other electronic commerce methods, such as email. The Government's acceptance of the contractor'sproposal constitutes bilateral agreement to "issue" contractual documents as detailed here in. 5. This requirement requires access to confidential drawings. These drawings arenot required to provide a quotation for the RFQ/RFP. However, in the event ofan award a facility security clearance is required. 1. SCOPE 1.1 The material covered in this contract/purchase order will be used in a crucial shipboard system. The use of incorrect or defective material would create a high probability of failure resulting in serious personnel injury, loss of life, loss of vital shipboard systems, or loss of the ship itself. Therefore, the material has been designated as SPECIAL EMPHASIS material (Level I, Scope of Certification, or Quality Assured) and special control procedures are invoked to ensure receipt of correct material. 1.2 ;NSN 1H9510-01-495-9543X2 will be supplied to the successful bidder for the manufacture of stems and discs.; 1.3 ;NSN 1H9510-01-495-9543X2 will be supplied to the successful bidder for the manufacture of stems and discs.; 2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS 2.1 Order of Precedence - In the event of a conflict between the text of this contract/purchase order and the references and/or drawings cited herein, the text of this contract/purchase order must take precedence. Nothing in this contract/purchase order, however, must supersede applicable laws and regulations unless a specific exemption has been obtained. 2.2 Applicable Documents - The document(s) listed below form a part of this contract/purchase order including modifications or exclusions. 2.3 Specification Revisions - The specification revisions listed under "Docu ments References" below are the preferred revision. Older and/or newer r evisions are acceptable when listed within Contract Support Library Reference Number CSD155 in ECDS (Electric Contractor Data Submission) at: ht tps://register.nslc.navy.mil/. This is to allow Contractors to use certain acceptable older specification revisions to purge their existing stock of material certified to those older revisions or to use newer specification revisions when material is certified to newly released revisions,without requiring the submittal of waiver/deviation requests for each specification revision on every contract. Revisions of specifications reflecting editorial and/or re-approval (e.g. E2009, R2014, etc.) are considered inconsequential, but are acceptable when their revisions are listedwithin CSD155 or elsewhere within this contract. 2.3.1 "Document References" listed below must be obtained by the Contractor. Ordering information is included as an attachment to this contract/purchase order. 2.3.2 Documents, drawings, and publications supplied are listed under "Drawing Number".
