DLA Aviation (Philadelphia) is asking for quotes on a circuit card assembly (PSC 5998). The notice calls it a critical safety item and says it is being bought under emergency acquisition flexibilities. No drawings are available, and the quantity and delivery terms are not in the notice text.
Watch out for
Critical safety item. Critical safety items carry stricter quality, traceability and handling rules, and mistakes can be costly. THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ITEM (CSI).
No drawings available. You may not be able to price or build the part without technical data, so check how to get it before quoting. No drawings are available for this Request for Quotation.
Emergency acquisition authority. The buy is under emergency procedures, so timelines are short and rules may differ from a normal solicitation. This solicitation is being solicited under Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities (EAF) Authority formally known as Special Emergency Procurement Authority (SEPA).
Heavy quality paperwork. Receiving inspection records with dimensional data, a failure analysis system and a serial-number history file add overhead for a small shop.
Government can test samples. The Government may pull completed units for performance and environmental testing after acceptance.
