This requirement is for one unit of a part that must be acquired or repaired from an approved source because engineering source approval by the design control activity is required to maintain quality. The approved source(s) possess unique design capability, engineering skills, manufacturing/repair knowledge, and data rights or technical data that are not economically available to the Government but are essential to part quality. An alternate source must qualify according to the design control activity’s procedures, as approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity. The qualification procedures must be approved by the Government engineering activity having jurisdiction over the part in its intended application. Delivery is FOB origin.

The requirement is for manufacturing, testing, and inspecting polyethylene containers produced by rotational molding to Container Research Corporation drawing 838E001 (latest revision) and related specifications, including welding, cleaning, UID nameplate, and 100% production leak testing. The item requires engineering source approval by the design activity, so new manufacturers should contact the buyer about source approval procedures; a pre-award survey and post-award conference may be required for new manufacturers. First Article testing is required, with Government first article testing costs estimated at $12,000, and waiver of First Article approval may be available for offerors that previously supplied accepted identical production articles from the same production location within three years. The First Article unit must be delivered within 120 calendar days from contract award, with 14-day advance written notice to the test facility before shipment; the test site must complete evaluation within 90 days after receipt, and the contracting officer must notify approval, conditional approval, or disapproval within 120 calendar days after Government receipt. Packaging is per MIL-STD-2073, and FMS delivery and shipping instructions apply.

DLA Weapons Support Philadelphia requires polyethylene rotational-molded containers manufactured, tested, and inspected to Container Research Corporation drawing 838E001 (latest revision), including UID nameplate, zinc-nickel finish, welding, cleaning, deoxidizing, and leak-test requirements. Engineering source approval by the design activity is required; new manufacturers must contact the buyer for source approval procedures, and a pre-award survey and/or post-award conference may be required. First Article Testing requires delivery of one unit within 120 calendar days after contract award; the Government’s FAT effort is estimated at $12,000 and will be added for solicitation purposes, with testing/evaluation completed within 90 days after sample receipt and approval notification within 120 calendar days after Government receipt. FAT includes visual/dimensional inspection, initial and final leak tests, an 18-inch free-fall drop test, and form/fit check; the testing location is arranged by contacting the buyer, and the contractor bears all costs and responsibilities for shipping FAT containers to and from the test facility. Packaging is MIL-STD-2073, FMS delivery/shipping instructions apply, and First Article approval may be waived for offerors that previously furnished identical production articles accepted by the Government/OEM within three years from the same production location, subject to certification.

This opportunity involves manufacturing specialized containers using rotational molding with polyethylene, requiring strict adherence to a specific design drawing and quality standards. The contract includes a First Article Test (FAT) requirement, with one sample unit due 120 calendar days after contract award, and the government estimates testing costs at $12,000. Performance location is not specified, but the contracting activity is DLA Weapons Support in Philadelphia. The contractor must bear all costs for FAT sample shipment and testing, and welding must meet AWS standards with specific material and process controls. New manufacturers may require a pre-award survey and post-award conference due to the item's critical use and quality history.
