This contract is for NSN 7R-1680-016768849-V2, quantity 35 EA, with delivery FOB origin, and requires engineering source approval from the design control activity. The item is flight critical, and only sources previously approved by the Government have been solicited due to inadequate technical data for full and open competition. New sources must submit qualification data per the NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Brochure, and the time required for approval normally prevents delaying award. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1, but all responsible sources may identify their interest and capability. This is not a commercial item acquisition under FAR Part 12.

This opportunity is a U.S. Navy repair requirement for the Drive Link Bearing (NSN 1680-01-676-8849), with quantity revised from 35 to 76 units. The contractor must perform repairs, testing, and inspection in accordance with the Statement of Work, including maintaining quality systems compliant with ISO 9001/AS9100 and obtaining Government approval for any process or configuration changes. Performance is expected at the contractor's facility; the specified repair source is Lord Corporation in Erie, Pennsylvania. Proposals must include proposed Repair Turnaround Time (RTAT), capacity constraints, and pricing (firm-fixed-price or TT&E), while repair acceptance occurs at the contractor's facility. Government-furnished equipment is not provided; the contractor is responsible for all tooling, parts, and materials, and certain items (BER, MOI, OAR) require DCMA/PCO coordination.
