PANEL,STRUCTURAL,AI — 1560017355849 — SPRPA127QZA13

Contract NSN 7R-1560-017355849-E7, reference number 123GSR6-304, is a presolicitation for one structural aluminum panel with delivery terms FOB Origin. Due to the flight critical nature of the item and the specialized engineering and manufacturing knowledge required, the part necessitates engineering source approval by the design control activity. The government intends to negotiate with a single source under FAR 6.302-1 because existing approved sources retain essential technical data and design capabilities that are not economically available to the government. Prospective bidders who are not already approved sources must submit detailed information according to NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support brochures with their proposals to be considered for award. While the government is currently pursuing a single-source procurement and is not utilizing FAR Part 12 commercial item policies, other responsible sources may submit capability statements within the specified timeframes. All proposals must be received within 45 days of publication, or 30 days if awarded under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement.
