NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (Navy) plans to buy repair work on Argon BOA items, listed as an add-on to an existing requirement. Only sources the Navy has already approved for this repair will be solicited, so a new company must also submit source approval paperwork with its offer. No place of performance or contract length is given in the notice text.
Watch out for
- Source approval required. A company that is not already approved must submit technical data about its repair experience, and offers missing that data will not be considered.
Offers received which fail to provide all data required by the Source Approval Brochure
- Award may not wait for new sources. The Navy says approving a new source takes a long time, so it may award to an approved source before your approval is finished.
The time required for approval of a new source is normally such that an award cannot be delayed pending approval of a new source.
- Only previously approved sources solicited. The Navy says it will only solicit the source already approved, so a new company is unlikely to be asked to compete.
Only the source previously approved by the government for repair of these items will be solicited.

Full notice text from SAM.gov
The subject items require Government source approval prior to contract award, as the items are flight critical and/or the technical data available has not been determined adequate to support repair via full and open competition. Only the source previously approved by the government for repair of these items will be solicited. The time required for approval of a new source is normally such that an award cannot be delayed pending approval of a new source. If you are not an approved source you must submit, together with your proposal, the information detailed in the Source Approval Information Brochure at https://www.navsup.navy.mil/NAVSUP-Enterprise/NAVSUP-Weapon-Systems-Support/Business-Opps/ This brochure identifies technical data required to be submitted based on your company's experience in repair of the same or similar items. If your request for source approval is currently being evaluated at NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support, submit with your offer a copy of the cover letter that forwarded your request for source approval. Offers received which fail to provide all data required by the Source Approval Brochure or document previous submission of all data required by the Source Approval Brochure will not be considered for award under this solicitation. Please note, if evaluation of a source approval request submitted hereunder cannot be processed in time and/or approval requirements preclude the ability to obtain subject items in time to meet government requirements, award of the subject requirement may continue based on Fleet support needs.
