Things to watch (6)
- Serious: Intent to negotiate with only one source. The Navy plans to negotiate with one source under FAR 6.302-1; other firms may respond, but the notice is not a request for competitive proposals.
- Serious: Government source approval required. The part is flight critical or its technical data is not adequate for full and open competition, so an unapproved firm needs source approval to be considered.
- Serious: Offers without source approval data are not considered. A firm that is not approved must send all data required by the Source Approval Brochure or show it was already sent.

- Worth checking: Award may not wait for a new source. Approving a new source takes time, and the Navy may award before an unapproved firm is approved.
- Worth checking: Qualification must be met at award. Award is made only if the offeror, the product or the manufacturer meets the qualification requirement at the time of award.
- Minor: Commercial item interest window. Firms that can meet the need with a commercial item must tell the contracting officer within 15 days of the notice.
