Things to watch (6)
- Serious: Level I / SUBSAFE critical shipboard material. Defective parts could cause loss of life or the ship, so strict traceability, testing and certification are required.
- Worth checking: Drawings are not provided with the solicitation. You must obtain the drawings (and document references) yourself, so you may not be able to price the job quickly.
- Worth checking: Welding procedure approval before work starts. You need Navy-approved welding procedures and qualified welders, which can add time and cost.
Show all 6Show fewer
- Worth checking: No delay to approve new sources. The Navy will not wait to approve extra sources, so you need your quality manual in good order before bidding.
- Minor: DPAS rated order. A DO rating means this order gets production priority, which can disrupt other work.
- Minor: Government quality inspection at source. A Government quality representative will inspect at your plant and may audit your quality system.
