The agency plans to award to one named company. Others can only submit a capability statement to challenge it.
AI summary Beta
NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia plans a sole source purchase from Tactair Fluid Controls Inc. for repairs of two aircraft parts: a hydraulic module for the H-1 helicopter and a modulator control for the V-22. Tactair is the original equipment manufacturer and the notice says it is the only known source. Other firms may still send a capability statement or quote, but the Navy says award is expected to go to Tactair.
Watch out for
- Sole source to the OEM. The Navy intends to negotiate with only Tactair, so a new bidder has little chance unless it can show it can do the repair.
intends to solicit on a sole source basis with Tactair Fluid Controls Inc. (70236)
- No data or drawings available. The Government does not own the repair data, so other firms would have little to work from.
There are no drawings/data available.
- Source approval needed. Firms not already approved must go through a source approval process that will not delay the award.
