Who can bid
- Must be an approved source or submit source approval data with the offer
- Part needs engineering source approval from the design control activity
- Offeror, product or manufacturer must meet qualification requirements at time of award (FAR 52.209-1)
How to submit: Not stated in the text, due End of Nov 22, 2026 (12:00 AM Nov 23 UTC-4 · 11:00 PM Nov 22 Eastern). What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch
- Serious: Intended sole source. The Government plans to negotiate with only one source, so a new company has little chance unless it is already approved.
- Serious: Source approval needed. Becoming an approved source for a flight-critical part can take a long time and award will not wait for it.
- Worth checking: Offers can be rejected for missing data. Offers missing the source approval data will not be considered.
