This opportunity is for the manufacture of specialized containers requiring engineering source approval, with a 100% small business set-aside. The contractor must manufacture, test, and inspect the items per Container Research Corp drawing 609E001, and a pre-award survey and post-award conference may be required for new manufacturers. A First Article Test (FAT) is required, with one unit due 120 calendar days from contract award, and the government estimates the cost of its FAT testing effort at $10,000. The contractor bears all costs for shipping the FAT sample to and from the test facility, which is located at Naval Air Warfare Center in Lakehurst, NJ, or NSWC Indian Head in Picatinny Arsenal, NJ. The contract includes extensive quality, welding, and leak testing requirements, and the government may waive FAT for offerors who have previously supplied identical, accepted items from the same production location within the last three years.

This opportunity is for the acquisition of a single unit of a flight-critical part (NSN 6K-8145-012854683-V2) that requires Government source approval prior to contract award. Delivery is FOB Origin, and only previously approved sources have been solicited due to the part's unique design and data rights held by those sources. Any new source must submit detailed qualification information as outlined in the NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Brochure with their proposal. The timeline for approving a new source is typically too long to delay the award, and offers failing to provide all required data will not be considered. No budget amount or specific performance location is mentioned in the description.
