Things to watch (5)
From the version posted Oct 22, 2026.
- Serious: Item sole-sourced to Boeing, no engineering drawings. Firms other than Boeing may need the original maker's data or approval to supply part 65-30007-3020; the text does not say what other firms may send, so ask the contracting officer.
- Worth checking: Price hold period: 120 days or 60 days. The form says prices are held firm for 120 days, while block 11 gives a default of 60 calendar days unless the offeror inserts a different period; ask which governs.
- Worth checking: Item unique identification marking required. Each item needs a permanent unique identification mark, and the checklist says the marking must be verified with the prime contractor, which adds cost and coordination.

- Worth checking: Cybersecurity assessment needed to be considered for award. A bidder that must implement NIST SP 800-171 needs a current assessment score posted in SPRS before award.
- Minor: Foreign military sales customer can decline any quantity. The FMS customer may drop a quantity, even the current one, before award because of the price offered.
