This procurement is restricted to qualified sources: Sargent Aerospace and Defense, Boeing Company, and Hydro-Aire, with the requirement that all parts be manufactured by one of these entities; contractors seeking to become qualified must submit a qualification package. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price sealed bid under FAR Part 14, with award based primarily on price, though other non-cost factors are acknowledged without defined weights or rankings. Inspection and acceptance procedures are item-specific, with some items inspected and accepted at origin and others at destination, governed by MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging, MIL-STD-129R for labeling and bar coding, and AFMC Form 158 for OEM identification. Packaging must adhere to military preservation standards using the "MIL" code, and all containers must be marked with NSN, 13-digit contract number, and four-digit call number, using only approved colors—black on yellow is preferred, while green and red labels are prohibited. Bar codes must comply with Code 39. Delivery schedules are tied to ARO or AFAA timelines, with final dates set post-award, and FOB terms vary by line item between origin and destination. Invoicing must be conducted through WAWF using web, EDI, or FTP options, and payment routing is handled via DoDAAC. First article testing is required for one line item and has a government cost estimate of $25,000. The contract includes standard clauses for inspection, quality assurance, responsibility for supplies, stop-work orders, government delay, termination for convenience, and certified cost or pricing data with Alternate I applied. The supply chain must maintain traceability and report part discontinuations and superseded numbers in compliance with FAR and DFARS quality standards. No set-aside or socioeconomic preferences apply, and the NAICS code 336413 carries a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. The contract has no stated total value due to missing unit pricing, and award will be made to the offeror meeting technical requirements at the lowest price.
