BELT, AIRCRAFT SAFETY

This solicitation, SPE4A7-26-T-571L, seeks the procurement of aircraft safety belts with a specific NSN and quantity, with a delivery requirement of 193 days ADO. Offerors must provide quantity ranges due to the unpredictable nature of purchase requests, as this flexibility allows the buyer to combine or adjust requirements without re-soliciting or adding administrative burden, though this does not apply to Auto IDC. Bidders are strictly prohibited from supplying covered telecommunications equipment or services under FAR 52.204-24 and DFARS 252.204-7016, and must comply with domestic sourcing restrictions including the Berry Amendment, Buy American Act, and related DFARS clauses, with a reduced threshold of $150,000. Any non-domestic materials require explicit disclosure. Small business joint ventures must submit the appropriate certifications for eligible classifications. Vendors must register through the new AMPS system within two months to access the Vendor Shipment Module and maintain shipping capabilities, with WebService users required to update their schema by the specified deadline. Offers containing items produced via additive manufacturing are ineligible for award unless prior approval is granted. Bidders who cannot submit a quote by the closing date must file a “No Bid” on DIBBS with an anticipated quote date or reason, to avoid assumptions of non-responsiveness. The solicitation is managed by the Department of Defense, with Grayson Andrews as the primary point of contact for inquiries.
