NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support wants 87 preload assemblies (part number 4166AS0812-07, NSN 1680 016879729) under a sole source requirement with the current source. Other firms can respond only if they are, or apply to become, a government-approved source, and approval will not delay the award. It is a DO-A1 rated order for national defense.
Watch out for
- Sole source to current source. The Navy says it lacks the data to buy from anyone but the current source, so a new bidder faces long odds.
The Government physically does not have in its possession sufficient, accurate, or legible data to contract with other than the current source.
- Approval will not delay the award. The Navy will not wait for a new source to be approved, so applying after the due date is unlikely to help.
The time required for approval of a new source is normally such that an award cannot be delayed pending approval of a new source.
- Rated order. A DO-A1 priority rating means the award must be performed ahead of unrated work, which affects scheduling.
DO-A1 rated order certified for national defense
