This is a procurement for 720 units of a specialized part requiring engineering source approval from the design control activity. The work must be performed by or acquired from existing approved sources, which retain essential proprietary data, or by an alternate source that successfully completes a formal qualification process. Award is contingent upon the offeror or manufacturer meeting these qualification requirements at the time of award. The Government has determined that standard commercial item acquisition policies do not apply to this requirement. Interested parties may, however, notify the contracting officer of their capability to provide a commercial alternative within 15 days of this notice.
