NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support plans to buy 7 aircraft floors (NSN 1R-1560-015663336-V2) and intends to negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1. The item is flight critical, so only Government-approved sources were solicited. Other companies can still show interest, but must submit source approval information with their proposal.
Watch out for
- Intent to award to one source. The Government plans to negotiate with only one source, so a new bidder faces long odds.
intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1
- Source approval takes time. Approval of a new source normally takes longer than the award schedule allows, so an award may not wait for you.
The time required for approval of a new source is normally such that an award cannot be delayed pending approval of a new source.
- Incomplete offers dropped. Offers without all the data required by the Source Approval Brochure will not be considered.
