Who can bid

Things to watch (4)
From the version posted Oct 19, 2026.
- Serious: Part restricted to Dana Corporation and source approval needed. The part number is restricted to Dana Corporation (CAGE 63ZH0). Other firms must pass the Source Approval Program at their own cost, and the Government has no technical data rights.
- Serious: Quantity given without a unit. The text says minimum 27 and maximum 675 with no unit of issue, and a quote is priced per unit.
- Worth checking: No Government data rights to the technical data package. The Government does not own the technical data package (TDP, the drawings and specifications), so you may lack the data to make the part.

- Minor: Market research only. Responding is voluntary and the Government pays none of your costs; this is not a request for proposals.
