NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (U.S. Navy) wants a contractor to repair and upgrade 3 gas engine starter units (NSN 2995-01-501-4998 upgraded to NSN 2995-01-676-7405) that the Government will send in. This is a Foreign Military Sales repair buy at a fixed price, with quotes due 2026-11-03 at 5:00 PM (-05:00). The notice lists Tempe, AZ as the place of performance.
Watch out for
- Solicitation has many blank fields. Turnaround days, throughput, evaluation factors, DPAS rating, routing codes and the inspection site are unfilled, so you cannot tell what you will be scored on or how fast you must repair.
Required RTAT:###### days after receipt of asset.
- Repair needs OEM-level data and capability. This is an upgrade (part number change) of an aircraft engine starter, so a shop without OEM repair manuals, drawings and the right approvals would struggle to quote.
repair work shall be performed in accordance with the contractor's repair/overhaul standard practices, manuals and directives
- Government-furnished units must match exactly. You may not start if the received units do not match the NSN and part number, and arrival can take up to 45 days, which can delay your schedule.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE CONTRACTOR PROCEED WITH THE PERFORMANCE UNDER
- CAV RP reporting and registration. You must buy a PKI certificate, finish training and an access request within 30 days of award and log in every 30 days, with the cost built into your price.
CAV RP registration requires the contractor to purchase a commercial PKI certificate
- Priority rating (DPAS) unclear. The clause says an award will be a DX or DO rated order without choosing one, and a rated order forces you to put this work ahead of other jobs.
Any contract awarded as a result of this solicitation will be DX rated order; DO rated order certified for national defense
- Conflicting procedure statements. The form says this RFQ follows FAR Part 15 while also using commercial-item (Part 12) and simplified acquisition clauses, so ask which rules govern quotes and pricing data.
This RFQ is in accordance with FAR part 15.
- Mercury-free and overseas-shipment rules. Material for ships must be free of mercury contamination and packaging must meet export-style standards, which adds quality and packaging work.
shall contain no metallic mercury and shall be free from mercury contamination
