NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (the Navy's supply command) posted a presolicitation for QTY 15 EA of NSN 7R-1680-016985102-H5, an actuator, delivered FOB (free on board) origin.

Who can bid

Government source approval is required before award. Only previously approved sources have been solicited; others must include the source approval brochure data with their proposal

Things to watch

Serious: Only approved sources solicited. The item is flight critical or lacks adequate technical data, so only previously approved sources were solicited. Others must send approval data with a proposal.
Serious: Award will not wait for new source approval. The notice says approving a new source normally takes too long for an award to be delayed for it.
Worth checking: Meaning of the response date unclear. For a presolicitation, SAM.gov's date is when the solicitation is expected or interest is due. The notice does not say which.

An alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, as approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity. The qualification procedures must be approved by the Government engineering activity having jurisdiction over the part in the intended application.
