F-100 Augmentor Nozzle SE

The contract pertains to the procurement of 401 F-100 Augmentor Nozzles under a competitive, firm-fixed-price structure, set aside exclusively for small businesses as defined by the Small Business Administration under FAR 19.5, with NAICS code 336412. The solicitation was initially issued by the Department of Defense’s DLA Weapons Support at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, and later amended to extend the proposal deadline to January 30, 2026, and to formally add RMC Engineering and Manufacturing as an approved source. Delivery is to occur at the contractor’s facility under F.O.B. Origin terms, with first article test plans due within 120 days of contract award and first article approval processed within 60 days. Acceptance is generally conducted at origin, with specific items subject to destination acceptance per contract line item. The work requires full compliance with ISO 9001-2015 quality standards, MIL-STD-2073-1 packaging, MIL-STD-129 marking, and AFMC Form 158 for supplemental labeling, including bar-coding. Contractors must hold Export Control certification to access technical data and comply with the Buy American Act and Foreign Military Sales case TW-D-KDV. Proposals are evaluated through a best-value tradeoff process prioritizing technical acceptability and small business participation as mandatory thresholds, followed by comparative analysis of cost/price and past performance—where superior performance may justify a higher-priced award. All submissions must be delivered via email to the contracting officer by the deadline, and invoicing is strictly through Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF). The contract requires adherence to federal acquisition regulations including 52.204-29 (Supply Chain Security), 52.222-52 (Labor Standards Exemption), and 52.227-6 and -15 regarding technical data rights, and necessitates offeror certification of small business status, Unique Entity ID, and CAGE code compliance. No contract value is specified due to absence of unit pricing in the schedule, and while Section H is marked “not applicable,” critical requirements are embedded in other sections including first article testing, quality assurance, and data deliverables governed by DI-NDTI-80809B/T.
