NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia is asking for a quote to repair one Government-owned Data Concentrator (part number 270-2670-030) so it works again, for a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customer. The form already lists Rockwell Collins - Missions in Cedar Rapids, IA as the contractor/quote source, and the repair uses approved Navy manuals and drawings. The order covers units sent in over a one-year period.
Watch out for
- Contractor already named on the form. Rockwell Collins - Missions is pre-printed as the contractor/quote source, so this looks like a repair only that company is set up to do and a new vendor may not qualify.
CONTRACTOR NAME: ROCKWELL COLLINS - MISSIONS
- Repair source must be Navy-approved. Repairs must follow approved manuals, drawings and an approved repair facility, and you get no price relief if the Navy disapproves your changes.
repair source or facility are not permitted and any such changes are done entirely at the Contractor
- You supply all tooling and test equipment. The Government will not provide special tooling or test equipment, which is a big cost for a small shop without the OEM's test setup.
manufacture, and/or testing of the subject item(s), will not be provided by the Government and shall be the responsibility
- Conflicting due dates. SAM.gov shows August 17, 2027 but the solicitation form says 17 August 2024 (the notice was posted July 2024), so check the real deadline and whether the solicitation is still open.
17 August 2024
- Unpriced extra repair work. Unusual damage is handled as over-and-above work with separate negotiation, so your price may not cover every unit you receive.
Therefore, repair of OAR items may be subject to equitable adjustment.
- DCMA oversight and paperwork. Written DCMA concurrence is needed for several findings, and acceptance testing is witnessed by DCMA at your plant, adding steps and delay.
Acceptance testing shall be conducted under the surveillance of the DCMA QAR.
- Part of the solicitation was not provided. About 92,000 characters in the middle of the solicitation (including the evaluation and other sections) were not available, so award criteria and some terms are unknown.
