Things to watch (4)
From the version posted Oct 26, 2026.
- Serious: Approved source listed and Critical Safety Item. Only approved sources are named, and the item is flight-critical, so a firm not on the approved list may not be able to bid or may need approval first.
- Worth checking: First article and production lot testing. The seller must pass first article testing and a Government production lot test before units are accepted, which adds time and cost.
- Worth checking: Long delivery schedule: 919 days ARO. Delivery is requested 919 days after receipt of order, so a seller must hold stock or plan production for years.

- Minor: Solicitation is on DIBBS. The RFQ, its clauses and delivery terms are on DIBBS, not in this notice.
