16--GEARBOX,ACCESSORY D
The Government intends a sole-source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1 for 17 each of NSN 7R-1615-013838992-VH, reference part 70351-08080-045, delivered FOB origin. The item is flight critical and requires Government engineering source approval by the design control activity; approved sources hold design, manufacturing, or repair data not economically available to the Government. Only previously approved sources have been solicited, and an alternate source must qualify through the cognizant Government engineering activity using NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Brochure procedures. Offerors not already approved must include the required source-approval data with their proposal, and offers missing required data or prior submission documentation will not be considered. This is not a request for competitive proposals, FAR Part 12 commercial-item policies are not being used, and award may proceed based on Fleet support needs if source approval cannot be completed in time.
