BOOSTER ASSEMBLY,AI — 1680016997330 — N0038326QSC34
Solicitation # N0038326QSC34
Solicitation N0038326QSC34 is a request for quotations issued by NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Philadelphia for the overhaul, upgrade, repair, testing, and inspection of Booster Assemblies (P/N 1680016997330, NSN 1680-01-699-7330). The primary objective is to return these flight-critical units to a Ready for Issue condition. The contractor is responsible for providing all necessary labor, facilities, materials, and tooling, as the government will not provide manufacturing aids. Key technical constraints include a prohibition on the use of MIL-W-81381 wire, requiring the use of SAE-AS22759 series wire instead, and a requirement for personnel to be certified to IPC/EIAJ-STD-001C if MIL-STD-454 is referenced. The contract mandates a rigorous quality management system compliant with ISO 9001 or SAE AS9100, with calibration meeting ANSI/NCSL Z540.3 or ISO-10012-1 standards. Contractors must maintain detailed historical record files for each serial number and submit all failure analysis and corrective action reports to the government. Specific protocols are established for Beyond Economical Repair determinations, Missing on Induction components, and Over and Above Repair efforts, all of which require written concurrence from DCMA and the Procuring Contracting Officer. Award will be made to a single, responsible, technically acceptable small business offeror based on technical acceptability and past performance evaluated via the DoD Supplier Performance Risk System. Because the items are flight-critical, government source approval is required prior to award. Deliverables must be preserved and packaged according to MIL-STD-2073-1 and marked per MIL-STD-129. Invoicing and receiving reports must be processed electronically through Wide Area Workflow.
