Only sources the Government has already approved have been solicited for this aircraft landing light, QTY 28 EA, from NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (the Navy's supply command). This is a presolicitation (an early notice before the solicitation), and SAM.gov's response date, end of November 15, 2026, is when the solicitation is expected. A firm that is not approved must send source approval information with its proposal.
Who can bid
- Be a source the Government has already approved for this item, or send the source approval information the NAVSUP WSS brochure requires with your offer
How to submit: due End of November 15, 2026 (SAM.gov response date for this presolicitation; the text does not say what is due then). What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch
- Serious: Government source approval required before award. The item is flight critical or its technical data is not adequate for full and open competition, so only approved sources have been solicited and a new source is unlikely to be approved in time.
- Serious: Offers without the full source approval data are not considered. A firm that is not approved must send everything the brochure asks for, or show it was already submitted, or the offer will not be considered for award.
- Worth checking: Award may not wait for source approval. The Navy says award can continue based on Fleet support needs if a new source's approval cannot be processed in time.
