Solicitation # SPE4A7-27-R-X125
Solicitation SPE4A7-27-R-X125 is a fixed-price procurement issued by the DLA Weapons Support ASC Supplier Oper AE and AF Div for the supply of Engine Shroud Assemblies (NSN 1560-007683121). Designated as a critical application item, the procurement is intended to provide worldwide support over a five-year term or until an aggregate total of 350,000 dollars is reached. The initial base year includes a guaranteed minimum quantity of 14 units, with a maximum delivery order of 28 units. This is not a small business set-aside, and awardees must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Technical requirements mandate strict adherence to MIL-STD-130 for marking and identification, MA-122 for sheet metal fabrication, and ASME B46.1 for surface texture. The contractor must provide first article units for approval testing within 30 days of award, with the government adding the cost of this testing to the evaluated price. Due to the nature of the item, a Northrop Grumman Licensing Agreement applies, requiring strict data non-disclosure and destruction protocols. Additionally, contractors must meet Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 requirements and provide unique identifiers issued by SPRS. Inspection and acceptance are generally conducted at the source, though first article testing is accepted at the destination. Invoicing and payment are processed electronically through the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system. Evaluation for award is based on technical acceptability, price relative to estimated annual demand, and the cost of government first article testing. Offers for surplus material are explicitly excluded from consideration.
