This is a government contract for the supply of newly manufactured spare parts under Foreign Military Sales (FMS), where the parts will be owned and shipped to the customer country, not the U.S. Department of Defense. The work requires compliance with a higher-level quality requirement equivalent to ISO 9001 and includes a warranty provision of 12 months. The performance location involves delivery to a domestic U.S. freight forwarder under contract to the FMS customer. Proposals must be submitted via email, and only offers from government-approved sources or their authorized distributors with proper documentation will be considered technically acceptable.

This procurement is for 15 units of a flight-critical part that requires Government source approval prior to contract award. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one pre-approved source under FAR 6.302-1. While this is a notice of intent and not a formal competitive request, proposals from other sources will be considered if received within 45 days of the synopsis publication. Unapproved sources must submit a full source approval information package with their proposal to be considered. The item requires unique design and manufacturing capabilities held by the approved source(s), and the qualification process for a new alternate source is typically too lengthy to delay an award.
