Watch out for
- Sole-source intent. The Government plans to negotiate with one source, so a new small business has a low chance of winning unless it can show it is a capable source.
the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1
- Missing technical data. The Government says it lacks enough usable data to buy from anyone but the current source, so you may not be able to make the part.
The Government physically does not have in its possession sufficient, accurate, or legible data to purchase this part/contract repair from other than the current source(s).
- Qualification requirement. You or the manufacturer must already meet qualification requirements, which can take time and money to obtain.
Award will be made only if the offeror, the product/service, or the manufacturer meets the qualification requirement(s) at time of award
- Not a call for competitive proposals. Responses are used mainly to decide whether to compete the buy.
