DLA Aviation at Philadelphia wants quotes for an electro-mechanical actuator marked as a critical safety item. Only Government-approved sources (or their authorized distributors) can win; other offers are rejected as technically unacceptable. It is being issued under emergency acquisition flexibilities.
Watch out for
- Approved sources only. Unless you are an approved source or its authorized distributor, your offer will be rejected, and qualifying as a new source goes through the design control activity.
This part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the quality of the part.
- Critical safety item. Critical safety items carry stricter quality and traceability expectations.
CRITICAL SAFETY ITEM
- Missing distributor letter is fatal. Leaving out the authorized distributor letter makes the proposal non-responsive.
Failure to provide the approved distributor letter will deem the proposal non-responsive
- Emergency acquisition flexibilities. Special emergency procedures are in use, so the process may move faster or differ from normal.
Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities (FAR 5.202(a)(2)
