AI summary Beta
NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (Navy) has a sole source requirement for 203 captive floor bolts (aircraft hardware, part 4166AS0843-101). The notice says the Government lacks the data to buy from anyone other than the current source. New sources can still submit a Government source approval package with their proposal.
Watch out for
- Sole source requirement. The Government is buying from the current source, so a new bidder is unlikely to win unless it is or becomes an approved source.
This is a sole source requirement for the following
- No technical data available. The Government says it does not have enough usable data to buy elsewhere, so a new source would likely need its own design data and approval.
The Government physically does not have in its possession sufficient, accurate, or legible data to contract with other than the current source.
- New source approval is slow. The notice says award will not wait for a new source to be approved, and incomplete packages are not considered.
The time required for approval of a new source is normally such that an award cannot be delayed pending approval of a new source.
