This is a non-competitive, sole-source procurement for a flight-critical part where only previously government-approved sources are being solicited. The government intends to negotiate with only one source, and unapproved sources must submit a comprehensive source approval request with their proposal. The item requires government source approval prior to award, and the approval process for a new source is typically too lengthy to delay an award. Proposals from unapproved sources will be considered only if received within 45 days of the synopsis publication. The performance location and specific budget are not detailed in this description.
