SPRPA1-25-R-EV73

This contract involves the procurement of 17 units of a flight-critical temperature control valve, with delivery terms FOB origin. The item is designated under NSN 7R-1680-015612427-E7, REF NR 422535, and is classified as an authorized distribution. The acquisition is restricted to sources previously approved by the Government, as the technical data rights or manufacturing knowledge necessary for alternative sources are unavailable or insufficient. The item must be obtained from or repaired by a source specified on a source control or selected item drawing, in accordance with the current version of DoD-STD-100. Due to the critical nature of the part and the lack of adequate technical data, the Government has determined that only pre-approved sources can be solicited, and new sources require prior approval, which typically cannot be obtained in time for the contract award. Potential suppliers must submit detailed technical data and source approval documentation as outlined in the NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Brochures for both spares and repair, with submissions evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Failure to provide complete documentation will result in disqualification from consideration. The contract is managed by the Defense Logistics Agency at Philadelphia, with a solicitation posted on April 29, 2025, and a response deadline of June 16, 2025. Interested parties can contact the designated point of contact, Loraine E. Smith, via email or phone, for further information. The procurement process emphasizes strict adherence to source approval requirements due to the part’s critical application in flight systems.
