This opportunity is for the acquisition of 3 units of a specific part (NSN 7R-1620-012706789-GF) that requires engineering source approval from the Government due to its flight-critical nature. Only previously approved sources have been solicited, and new sources must submit detailed qualification information as outlined in the NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Brochures to be considered. The Government intends to negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1, but all responsible parties may submit proposals or capability statements. Delivery is FOB origin, and the item is a Critical Safety Item (CSI). No specific budget amount or performance location is mentioned in the description.

This is a new spares requirement for a Critical Safety Item (CSI) with no drawings available, requiring USG Source Approval and a bilateral agreement with McDonnell Douglas Aircraft (MDA) prior to award. The contract is for 15 units of part number 74A410509-1006, with delivery timelines of 504 days after receipt of order (ARO) for 3 units, 90 days ARO for First Article Testing (FAT), and 180 days ARO for Production Lot Testing (PLT). Evaluation factors include price, delivery timeframe, and past performance, with all non-cost factors combined approximately equal to cost or price. The contractor must perform First Article Testing at their facility and MDA facilities, with an estimated government witnessing cost of $15,000, and submit a test report within 430 calendar days from contract award. No budget amount is specified, and the location for performance is not explicitly stated but involves contractor and MDA facilities.
