NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (Navy, Philadelphia) plans to buy 147 aircraft landing jacks (NSN 1R-1730-005402343-SX, part A5-1HC), delivered FOB origin. The notice lists six already-approved sources and says award is expected to go to one of them. Other firms can submit a capability statement or a Source Approval Request, but the buy will not wait for approval.
Watch out for
- Award expected for approved sources. The Navy lists six approved firms and expects to award to one of them, so a new small business has a slim chance without source approval.
it is expected that award will be made to this firm
- No drawings or data available. The Government does not own the technical data, so a new source would have difficulty making or proving an equal part.
There are no drawings/data available.
- Source approval will not delay the buy. Getting approved takes time, and the Navy will not wait for it to finish.
This procurement will not be delayed to wait for a SAR approval.
- Conflicting dates and set-aside details. The response deadline field says 30 Oct 2026 but the text gives March to April 2026 dates, and the set-aside field says none while the text says total small business set-aside, so confirm with the contracting officer.
The approximate issue date for the Solicitation/RFP will be 9 March 2026 with an approximate response/closing date of 6 April 2026.
