The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA Aviation, Philadelphia) is soliciting a spindle assembly (PSC 1615, helicopter rotor parts). The notice text is mostly a list of contract clauses with no quantity, delivery place or specifications, and drawings are not available. It is a critical safety item bought under emergency acquisition authority.
Watch out for
- Critical safety item. Critical safety items usually carry stricter quality, traceability and source approval rules that small shops often cannot meet.
THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ITEM (CSI).
- No drawings available. Without drawings it is hard to know what you would have to supply, so the part is difficult to quote unless you already make it.
Drawings are not available for this Request for Quotation.
- Emergency acquisition authority. The buy uses special emergency procedures, so timelines and terms may move quickly.
This solicitation is being issued under EAF Authority (formally known as SEPA).
- One-year warranty. You are responsible for defects for a year after delivery.
ONE YEAR FROM DATE OF DELIVERY
