This amendment increases the required quantity for a Foreign Military Sales spares buy from 10 each to 20 each. The procurement is under the Small Business Administration review threshold of $15,000.00, and a small business set-aside is not considered appropriate. FMS delivery and shipping instructions apply, and the order is a DO-rated priority certified for National Defense. Contract documents are deemed issued upon mailing, fax, or electronic transmission, and the Government’s acceptance of a proposal forms a bilateral agreement. Mandatory quality, Wide Area Workflow payment, and other standard Navy clauses apply.

This is a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) spares buy. The requirement falls below the SBA review threshold of $15,000, so it was not reviewed by the SBA representative for a set-aside recommendation. The contract specialist has determined that a small business set-aside is not appropriate for this procurement. Numerous standard federal acquisition clauses apply, including Buy American, quality, payment, and security provisions. Interested parties should contact the Navy contracting specialist listed for further details.

This requirement is for 10 units of a part that requires engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain quality, with delivery FOB origin. The approved source(s) retain essential data and knowledge, so only previously approved sources are solicited, and an alternate source must qualify through the cognizant Government engineering activity. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1, but all responsible sources may express interest and capability. Offers from unapproved sources must include the Source Approval Information Brochure data from NAVSUP WSS, and award will be made only if the offeror or manufacturer meets qualification requirements at the time of award. Because the time for new source approval normally cannot be delayed, the Government may continue award based on fleet support needs if approval is not processed in time.
