Things to watch (4)
- Serious: Engineering source approval needed. The approved sources hold the data and know-how, so a new source must qualify through the design control activity before it can supply the part.
- Serious: Government intends to use only one source. The notice says the Government plans to negotiate with one source and does not name it. Other firms may respond, but the Government may not compete the work.
- Worth checking: Drawings not available. The notice says drawings are not available, so you may not be able to price the part without prior experience.
