DLA Land Warren wants to buy 128 Automatic Controls (NSN 2815-01-053-3789, manufacturer part number 12254217), with an option for 128 more. The work is firm fixed price, delivered FOB destination within the continental U.S., and a first article test is required unless waived. The technical data is export controlled, so bidders need Joint Certification Program (JCP) approval to see it.
Watch out for
- First Article Test required. You must build and get approval of a sample unit before production, which adds cost and time (delivery is 420 versus 300 without it); a waiver may be requested.
First Article Test (FAT) is required for this action.
- JCP certification needed to see the drawings. The paperwork is mailed, and the notice says it should take about a week, so start early.
it CANNOT be faxed or emailed
- Possible reverse auction. After the solicitation closes, bidders may be asked to lower prices in a live online auction.
the contracting officer will determine if a reverse auction will be held
- Strict quality requirements. Higher-level contract quality and MIL-STD-1916 apply, meaning a formal quality system is expected.
Use of MIL STD-1916 applies
