This notice is for a flight-critical part (NSN 7R-1560-016659592-QE, reference 74A183101-1010) in quantity 62 each, with delivery FOB origin. The item requires engineering source approval from the design control activity, and only previously approved sources have been solicited. Alternate sources must qualify through Government-approved procedures and must submit all required source approval data with any offer, or their proposal will not be considered. 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. New source approval normally takes too long to permit delaying award, so the requirement may be awarded based on Fleet support needs even if source approval requests cannot be processed in time.

This is a fixed-price supply contract with inspection, higher-level quality requirements, and numerous federal acquisition clauses covering certifications, Buy American, value engineering, transportation by sea, and subcontracting. An amendment removes the provision allowing early and incremental deliveries from the RFP. The delivery schedule specifies the first delivery no later than 24 months after receipt of order, at a rate of 8 units per month. Electronic proposal submission via email is required.
