The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Navy through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support, is seeking proposals for the procurement of a flight-critical air distribution manifold, identified by NSN 7R-1680-016176854-E7, with a quantity of one unit required for delivery FOB origin. This procurement necessitates Government source approval prior to contract award, as the technical data available does not support full and open competition, and only previously approved sources will be considered for this solicitation. The item is crucial for operational readiness, and interested vendors must submit comprehensive documentation as outlined in the NAVSUP Source Approval Information Brochures to demonstrate their capability and experience in producing similar items. For further inquiries, interested parties can contact Sarah E. Crompton at (215) 697-5809 or via email at SARAH.CROMPTON@NAVY.MIL.
