The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA Aviation, Oklahoma City, at Tinker AFB) wants to buy newly made turbine cases for a jet engine (NSN 2840-01-631-0215, part number 6052T90G02). The current planned quantity is 861 units, delivered to a DLA depot at Tinker AFB, with 3 first article samples to be tested first. The notice says competition is not anticipated, and only approved (qualified) sources that also have the original maker's permission can be considered.
Watch out for
- Competition not anticipated. The Government expects few or no competing offers, so a new bidder faces a long shot unless it is already approved and has OEM backing.
COMPETITION IS NOT ANTICIPATED:
- OEM permission required or the quote is non-responsive. The Government does not own the data rights, so a small business must show written OEM permission to make the part or its offer will be rejected.
The data rights for this item are not owned by the Government.
- Source approval needed before award. Getting approved takes a detailed package (engineering data, production documents, sample parts) and the Government will not hold up award while it reviews pending requests.
AWARD WILL NOT BE WITHHELD WAITING QUALIFICATION:
- First article testing at contractor risk. You cover the cost of first article tests, and any production work before approval is at your own risk, so cash flow and rework risk fall on you.
Before first article approval, the acquisition of materials or components for, or the commencement of production
- Quantity may change and award is not guaranteed. Final quantity (216 to 1,292) is set by the Government after offers arrive, and it may award nothing, which makes tooling and pricing decisions hard.
Government reserves the right to award no contract at all depending on the quality and prices of proposal(s)
- Export-controlled drawings. Drawings are view-only through SAM.gov for authorized vendors, so you need the right registrations before you can price the work.
- No deadline extensions. The notice says the closing date will not be moved just to give more time to propose.
Solicitation Closing Dates WILL NOT be extended for the sole
- Critical safety and traceability requirements. The attached qualification document covers propulsion critical safety and critical application items, and the line items also require IUID marking, an ISO 9001 quality standard and military packaging, which add compliance cost.
