16--MODL,WCH,HST CTLVLV, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF
This requirement is for the acquisition of three units of a flight-critical part that requires Government source approval before contract award. Only sources previously approved by the Government have been solicited, and the item must be acquired from the approved source(s) due to their unique design, engineering, and manufacturing knowledge, as well as data rights not economically available to the Government. An alternate source must qualify in accordance with procedures approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity, and the approval process typically cannot be completed within the timeframe needed for award. Offerors who are not already approved sources must submit the information required by the NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Brochure with their proposal; offers failing to do so will not be considered. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1, though all responsible sources may express interest.
