Things to watch (7)
- Serious: Sole source to Pacific Propeller International (10210). The Navy expects to award to this one firm, the original manufacturer; other firms may send a capability statement, proposal or quotation, but award to them is unlikely unless the Navy decides to compete.
- Serious: Source approval required and not waited for. A firm not already approved must file a Source Approval Request, and the Navy will not delay the buy to wait for approval.
- Serious: No drawings or data; Government does not own the data rights. The Navy has no drawings or technical data to give other sources, and cannot buy the part from additional sources without the data rights.
Show all 7Show fewer
- Serious: Unit of issue not stated. Exhibit A gives yearly quantities for each item but no unit of issue, so a quote cannot be priced per unit without asking the contracting contact.
- Worth checking: Prices and repair turnaround times redacted. The posted Exhibit A blacks out the replacement price and repair turnaround days for every item, so a bidder cannot size the work from the posted file.
- Worth checking: Commercial-item interest due within 15 days of the notice. The Navy is not using the commercial-item rules (FAR Part 12), but a firm that can meet the need with a commercial item must say so within 15 days of the notice.
- Minor: Unique item identification and Buy American rules. Item marking (UID) requirements apply, and Buy American clauses will be in the solicitation.
