This is a requirement for newly manufactured ALRE Critical Safety Item cylinder P/N 622259-1R (drawing 622259 Rev Y, NAWCAD Lakehurst) for non-CLSSA FMS spares; only Government-approved sources are eligible, though non-approved firms may seek engineering source approval, and refurbished, remanufactured, or repaired material is unacceptable. The contractor must meet AS/EN/JISQ 9100 or equivalent, perform markings per MIL-STD-130, and support First Article, production lot, in-process, interim, and final inspections at its facility with NAWCADLKE/DCMA surveillance. Key performance timelines include at least 14 days’ notice before First Article testing, a First Article test report within 15 calendar days after testing, and Government First Article action within 45 calendar days after inspection. Other required notices are at least 14 working days for NAWCADLKE first-lot QA surveillance, 7 working days for interim inspection surveillance, 14 days for final inspection, and 10 days for in-process inspection. A 12-month warranty applies (defects reported within 45 days after discovery), and records must be retained for seven years.

This is an FMS requirement for newly manufactured ALRE Critical Safety Item/flight-critical cylinder (P/N 622259-1R) and subcomponent (P/N 520317-1) used in a shipboard aircraft launch/recovery system, and only government-approved sources with Naval Air Systems Command engineering source approval are eligible for award. The contractor must manufacture and inspect at its facility, with NAWCAD Lakehurst QA (Lakehurst, NJ) and DCMA/QAR surveillance; first article testing requires 14-day advance notice, a test report within 15 days, and government approval/disapproval within 45 days. Quality controls include 100% inspection of critical characteristics, NDT by NADCAP/ISO 17025-accredited labs, heat treat/forging/MPR processes, AS/EN/JISQ 9100 or equivalent quality systems, and seven-year record retention, with pre-award survey/post-award conference possible for new manufacturers. Packaging/marking is per MIL-STD-2073 and MIL-STD-130, and FMS delivery instructions require shipment through a domestic U.S. freight forwarder to the customer country. A 12-month warranty applies, and Wide Area Workflow is used for invoicing/receiving report.

This is for the procurement of one unit of a specific NSN part requiring engineering source approval due to its flight-critical nature and limited technical data. The government intends to solicit only with a previously approved source under FAR 6.302-1, as only those sources retain the necessary data and manufacturing knowledge. Alternate sources must qualify through NAVSUP WSS source approval procedures before award can be considered. Applicable military specifications and standards can be obtained via DODSSP or ASSIST-Online. Responses received may influence a future competitive procurement, but the government cannot delay award pending new source approval.
