Things to watch (5)
From the version posted Oct 23, 2026.
- Serious: Government source approval required. Award is limited to Government-approved sources. If you are not approved, you must send the source approval brochure data with your offer or it is not considered.
- Serious: Quantity and unit of issue not in the notice text. A quote is priced per unit, so you need the quantity and unit of issue (each, box, etc.) before pricing. Check the solicitation on SAM.gov.
- Worth checking: Amendment lets non-approved sources be considered. A source not currently approved can be considered only if it provides FAA-certified parts with an FAA Form 8130-3 tag from certified repair stations.
