FILTER BODY, FLUID

This contract is a solicitation for the procurement of eight fluid filter bodies under NSN 4330-00-191-3096. The requirement is a total small business set-aside managed by the Department of Defense Maritime Supply Chain, with a delivery timeline of 168 days after order. The item is designated as a restricted source item, meaning it requires engineering source approval from the government design control activity. Manufacturing may involve casting or forging, and the government may not provide the necessary special tooling. Strict compliance with DLA packaging requirements and the removal of government identification from non-accepted supplies is mandatory. Additionally, the contract prohibits the intentional use of mercury or mercury-containing compounds, except in specific functional applications. Alternate offerors must provide comprehensive documentation, including all drawings, process sheets, and source identification for critical operations, or a detailed engineering analysis report if reverse engineering was utilized.
