DLA Aviation Philadelphia (Navy) is asking for interested sources to make one part: an alignment telescope, NSN 4920-01-575-0490, P/N T6551931. It plans to buy from one source or a few approved sources, and the government does not have the manufacturing data. This is a sources sought notice, not a request for proposals.
Watch out for
- Source approval needed. New sources must get approved, and the government will not delay award while approval is pending, so a new supplier may be shut out.
