66--COMPUTER,FUEL MANAG

The contract pertains to the procurement of four units of a flight-critical computer fuel management system, identified by NSN 7R-6610-015238319-H1, in accordance with reference number 512010-03-01. Delivery terms specify FOB origin, and the item requires stringent engineering source approval by the designated design control activity to ensure the quality and integrity of the parts. Due to the unique design capabilities, specialized engineering expertise, and proprietary manufacturing or repair knowledge held by existing approved sources, acquisition or repair must be conducted through these qualified sources. These sources retain essential data rights and technical information not economically accessible to the government, which is critical for maintaining the item's quality. Any alternative source must undergo a rigorous qualification process in compliance with procedures approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity responsible for the part's application. Only government-approved sources have been solicited for this procurement, as the technical data currently available does not support open competition and the item’s critical nature mandates source approval before contract award. New sources interested in bidding must submit detailed technical data and demonstrate relevant production experience, following the guidance provided in the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Source Approval Information Brochures. Failure to furnish all required documentation will result in disqualification from award consideration. If source approval evaluations cannot be completed timely or the requirements prevent meeting delivery schedules, awards may proceed with existing approved suppliers to support fleet needs. The contract solicitation is managed by the DLA Aviation office in Philadelphia with a response deadline of June 15, 2026, and includes contact information for inquiries and access to related source approval documentation online. Drawings for the item are not available as part of this solicitation.
