61--WIRE,ELECTRICAL

This contract involves the procurement of ten electrical wire components designated NSN 1R-6145-016816759-P8, with reference number 708651-2, to be delivered FOB origin. The item is classified as flight critical, and the government does not possess sufficient or adequate technical data to support acquisition from sources other than those already approved. Consequently, the contract will be awarded under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, allowing sole-source procurement. Only previously approved sources are solicited, and new sources must submit detailed technical and production data for government approval to qualify for consideration. The process for source approval involves submitting documentation as outlined in NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Brochures, with the possibility of continued award based on fleet support needs if approval is delayed. The solicitation emphasizes that offers must include all required source approval information, and proposals failing to do so will be excluded from consideration. The government may continue with award based on existing approved sources if timely approval cannot be obtained. Additional documentation and standards can be accessed through various government websites, including DODSSP and ASSIST-Online. Interested parties are invited to submit their interest, capability statements, or proposals within 45 days of the notice, with the understanding that the government may decide not to compete further based on responses. The contract aims to ensure the supply of critical components for military operations, with the point of contact being Jessica Harpel at NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia.
