The Navy requires manufacture, testing, and inspection of a critical shipboard aircraft launch/recovery system item per NAWCADLKE drawing PROJECT 50031 L1 REV F.3 GENATOM-0001, part 47VD1 Rev F.3, with MIL-STD-130 markings. Because incorrect or defective material could cause serious injury, loss of life, loss of vital shipboard systems, or loss of aircraft, the item is designated critical material subject to special controls and mandatory 100% PCO source inspection under DCMAO QAR surveillance. The contractor must perform NAWCADLKE-directed load testing, including a Skyhook test of at least 125% rated load per ASME B30.16 for 10 minutes without failure, and must conduct 100% inspection of critical characteristics with QAR-acceptable sampling for major/minor characteristics. Packaging must comply with MIL-STD-2073 as specified, and the contractor is responsible for all fixtures, tooling, test equipment, and other manufacturing aids. A 12-month warranty applies with defects reported within 60 days after discovery, and early/incremental deliveries are accepted and preferred.

The Government requires three units of NSN 1R-4920-016561447-EY under TDP version 002, with delivery FOB origin and early/incremental deliveries accepted. It intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1, and this notice is not a request for competitive proposals. All responsible sources may identify their interest and capability or submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements, which the Government will consider in deciding whether to conduct a competitive procurement. FAR Part 12 commercial-item procedures are not being used, but interested parties may identify commercial-item interest and capability to the contracting officer. Military/federal specifications, QPLs/QPDs, handbooks, and other standardized documents are available via DODSSP/ASSIST-Online, while patterns, drawings, deviation lists, and purchase descriptions are not stocked at DODSSP.
