AI summary Beta
NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support plans to buy one aircraft fairing (FAIRING,AIRCRAFT) on a sole-source basis from the current source. Other firms must get Government source approval before award and must send source-approval data with their proposal.
Watch out for
- Sole source to current source. The Government says it lacks the technical data to buy from anyone but the current source, so a new supplier is unlikely to win.
The Government physically does not have in its possession sufficient, accurate, or legible data to contract with other than the current source.
- Source approval not guaranteed in time. The Navy will not delay award while a new source is approved, and offers missing the approval data will not be 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.
- Trade agreement clauses. Free Trade Agreement and WTO clauses apply, which can affect which countries' products are allowed.
One or more of the items under this acquisition is subject to Free Trade Agreements.
