NSN 7R-1620-011487309-GF, TDP VER 003, REF NR 74A450802-1009, QTY 5 EA, DELIVERY FOB ORIGIN. This part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the quality of the part. Existing unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing/repair knowledge by the qualified source(s) require acquisition/repair of the part from the approved source(s). The approved source(s) retain data rights,manufacturing/repair knowledge, or technical data that are not economically available to the Government, and the data or knowledge is essential to maintaining the quality of the part. An alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, as approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity. The qualification procedures must be approved by the Government engineering activity having jurisdiction over the part in the intended application. The subject item requires Government source approval prior to contract award, as the item is flight critical and/or the technical data available has not been determined adequate to support acquisition via full and open competition. Only the source(s) previously approved by the Government for this item have been solicited. The time required for approval of a new source is normally such that an award cannot be delayed pending approval of a new source. If you are not an approved source you must submit, together with your proposal, the information detailed in one of the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Source Approval Information Brochures listed below. Spares: www.neco.navy.mil/sar.aspx Repair: www.neco.navy.mil/sarr.aspx These brochures identify the technical data required to be submitted based on your company's experience in production of the same or similar item, or if this is an item you have never made. If your request for source approval is currently being evaluated at NAVSUP WSS submit with your offer a copy of the cover letter which forwarded your request for source approval. Offers received which fail to provide all data required by the Source Approval Brochure or document previous submission of all data required by the Source Approval Brochure will not be considered for award under this solicitation. Please note, if evaluation of a source approval request submitted hereunder cannot be processed in time and/or approval requirements preclude the ability to obtain subject items in time to meet Government requirements, award of the subject requirement may continue based on Fleet support needs. The NAVSUP WSS Commercial Item Identification Brochureis now available at: "https://www.neco.navy.mil/cib.aspx". Interested parties may obtain copies of Military and Federal Specificationsand Standards, Qualified Products Lists (QPLs), Qualified Product Databases(QPDs), Military Handbooks, and other standardized documents from the DoDSingle Stock Point (DODSSP) at Document Automation and Production Service(DAPS) in Philadelphia, PA.

(2) Add the following language "A neutral rating will result if no (compliant) PPIF is received." (3) Offerors are required to either submit a revised quote/PPIF, or state in writing that they are standing by their existing quote by 2:00 PM (EST) on 4 March 2022. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged. Spares Requirement The Government intends to award to the source whose proposal represents the best value to the Government. Offers will be evaluated according to the following factors: 1. Compliance with the Solicitation Requirements: a. Demonstrating Government Source Approval prior to award. This award is limited to Government approved sources. Only approved sources will be evaluated for past performance. To be acceptable, an offeror must currently be a government approved procurement source. b. Demonstrating an unconditional offer to perform. A proposal that offers alternative terms or takes exceptions to a solicitation requirement will be considered "technically unacceptable." c. Offeror that receives award, except for the OEM/Prime, must pass First Article Testing (FAT)/Production Lot Testing (PLT). Refer to Scope, Quality Assurance Provisions (QAP) in TDP. If recently passed FAT/PLT please submit a waiver and approval letter(s). The PCO will evaluate the offerors' proposals against these requirements to determine whether the technical proposal is acceptable or unacceptable. An unacceptable offeror will not be further evaluated and will be removed from the competition. The Government will evaluate the offeror's past performance: a. Relevancy (past performance to determine its individual scope, complexity, and magnitude relative to the instant requirement.) b. Confidence (quality of the offeror's past performance.) The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government. Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will receive a neutral rating for past performance. However, the proposal of an offeror with no relevant past performance history, while rated neutral in past performance, may not represent the most advantageous proposal to the Government and thus, maybe an unsuccessful proposal when compared to the p proposals of other offerors. The offerors must provide the information requested in the PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION FORM (PPIF) for past performance evaluation or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant directly related or similar to past performance; Past Performance shall be no more than 5 contracts. Relevant past performance is performance under contracts or efforts (within the past three years) that is of similar scope, magnitude, and complexity to that which is described in the solicitation. The form is an attachment to the solicitation. An offeror failing to provide the past performance information or to assert that it has no relevant directly related or similar past performance will be considered ineligible for award. PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION FORM (PPIF) will be submitted with proposal, if PPIF is not available, contact Contracting Officer at jose.f.montesmontiel.civ@us.navy.mil for a copy. 3. Cost and Pricing. The evaluation of proposals will consider the offerors non-price factors significantly more important than the offerors cost/price factor with an acceptable/unacceptable criterion. Cost and pricing will be evaluated on best value to the Government. The purpose of the price factor is to determine if the proposed price is fair and reasonable. In no event will the Government make an award against an offer that the Government does not find to be fair and reasonably priced."
