59--CONNECTION MODULE C

This contract involves the procurement of three units of the NSN 7R-5935-145651780-H1, with delivery FOB origin, for a flight-critical component that requires prior government source approval due to its specialized design and manufacturing data. The part's quality depends on acquiring it from an approved source that possesses unique engineering capabilities, data rights, and technical knowledge not readily available to the government. Any alternate source must undergo a qualification process approved by the relevant government engineering authority, and the contract emphasizes the importance of existing approved sources to avoid delays in procurement. Suppliers interested in becoming approved sources must submit detailed technical data and documentation as outlined in the NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Brochure; failure to provide complete information will result in disqualification from consideration. The solicitation highlights that the item is critical for flight safety and/or lacks sufficient technical data for open competition, thus restricting procurement to previously approved sources. The process for obtaining necessary technical and standard documents is detailed, including access through the DOD Single Stock Point and ASSIST-Online. The award is contingent upon the offeror’s qualification status at the time of award, in accordance with FAR clause 52.209-1, and market research indicates that the government is not applying FAR Part 12 policies for this procurement. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their interest and capability details within 15 days of the notice, with the primary point of contact being Raymond J. Kent at NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia.
