The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Navy through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support, is seeking to procure seven units of a flight-critical aircraft component identified by NSN 7R-1680-015834344-V2. This procurement requires engineering source approval from the design control activity to ensure the quality of the part, as the item is essential for maintaining operational capabilities and cannot be acquired through full and open competition due to its unique design and manufacturing requirements. Interested suppliers must be approved sources or submit detailed qualification information along with their proposals, as the contract award will only be made to those meeting the necessary qualifications at the time of award. For inquiries, potential bidders can contact Jena Visconto at (215) 697-2910 or via email at JENA.VISCONTO@NAVY.MIL, with proposals due within 45 days of the notice publication.
