CLIP, SPRING TENSION

Offerors must comply with strict domestic sourcing requirements under the Berry Amendment and Buy American Act, with thresholds lowered to $150,000, and must disclose any non-domestic materials in their quotations. The solicitation prohibits the use of covered telecommunications equipment or services as defined by FAR 52.204-24 and DFARS 252.204-7016, and no items produced via additive manufacturing may be submitted unless prior approval is granted. Quotations must include quantity ranges due to fluctuating demand, as manual evaluation allows for flexible requirement aggregation or reduction without resolicitation, though this does not apply to Auto IDC. Small business joint ventures must submit specific certifications under FAR provisions for eligibility categories. All vendors must register through the upcoming AMPS system to access the Vendor Shipment Module and maintain shipping capability, with WebServices users required to update their schema by specified deadlines. Offerors anticipating submission after the closing date must file a “No Bid” on DIBBS with an anticipated quote date or reason to avoid unnecessary follow-ups. Fast Pay is not applicable to this solicitation. The item in question is a spring tension clip with NSN 5340-01-192-2048, quantity 15 units, requiring delivery within 57 days to Tinker AFB, with Robert Warne as the primary point of contact.
