This is a contract for the supply of Critical Safety Items (CSI) for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers, where the supplied parts will never be owned by or enter the U.S. Department of Defense supply chain. The work requires compliance with quality standard AS/EN/JISQ 9100 or equivalent and includes a 12-month warranty. Key points of contact for delivery and shipping are Theresa Bickel and Michael Galanek. Proposals must be submitted electronically to isabella.perrins@dla.mil, and offers from non-government-approved sources will be deemed technically unacceptable.

This is a sole-source procurement for a flight-critical item, requiring government source approval prior to award, and is 100% set aside for small business. The government intends to negotiate with only one pre-approved source, as technical data is not available to support full and open competition. Unapproved sources must submit a comprehensive source approval request with their proposal to be considered. Proposals from responsible sources will be considered if received within 45 days of the synopsis publication. Interested parties may also identify their capability to provide a commercial item alternative within 15 days of this notice.
