This is an RFQ for commercial aviation parts under a restricted requirement, with a firm-fixed-price purchase order anticipated on a sole-source basis to Aero Rubber Co Inc. Offerors must provide new parts with clear, auditable OEM traceability to Aero Rubber Co Inc and FAA-approved airworthiness, including a Certificate of Conformance; the notice ultimately states no substitute or alternate parts will be considered. The agency answered a vendor question by attaching OEM specifications and notes that no drawings, specifications, or schematics are available from the agency. A quantity-increase option allows Line Item 1 to be increased by up to 25 units at the unit price, to a maximum of 50, exercisable by written notice within one calendar year after purchase order award. Interested sources with the required expertise may submit quotations by email, but phone quotes will not be accepted, and the Government believes Aero Rubber Co Inc is the only known source for traceable genuine OEM parts.
