The Air Force wants a depot-level re-manufacturing of the C-5 main landing gear trunnion bearing, a large spherical pivot bearing. It plans a five-year requirements contract (1 base year plus 4 ordering years) at about 64 bearings a year, evaluated on lowest price technically acceptable. Bidders must be pre-qualified or send a source approval package, and must be registered in the Joint Certification Program (JCP) to see the technical data.
Watch out for
- Source pre-qualification needed. Unless you are already on the qualified list, you must prepare a full source approval package, which takes time and engineering effort.
To be eligible for award, offerors must be on the Government
- Export-controlled technical data. You need JCP registration before you can even get the bid documents.
To obtain copies of the bidset documents, an interested vendor shall be registered in the Joint Certification Program (JCP).
- Lowest price decides the award. With a technically acceptable, lowest price approach, price pressure is high for a small shop making large bearings.
