INSPECTION SET, RESIDUAL STRESS-MLG and TEST SET, CAPTURE LOCK-MAIN LANDING GEAR

This document outlines the Evaluation Plan for Solicitation No. N68335-26-Q-1209, a Small Business Set-Aside procurement issued through the PIEE module to support the F/A-18 E/F program. The resulting contract will be a Fixed-Price Purchase Order for two items with government-owned technical data: one Residual Stress-MLG Inspection Set (P/N 3867AS1630-1) and one Main Landing Gear Capture Lock Test Set (P/N 3867AS1635-1). The contract will be awarded to the responsible offeror submitting the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) proposal. To be deemed technically acceptable, offerors must qualify as a small business under the solicitation’s NAICS code via beta.sam.gov, quote the exact part numbers and quantities required, and propose a delivery timeline of 100 days after the contract award date. Additionally, offerors must possess a current NIST SP 800-171 assessment and a Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS). For the price evaluation, the government will calculate the sum of all Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) to determine the total evaluated price. Proposals must contain pricing for all CLINs, and non-conforming submissions may be rejected without further discussions. The document was prepared by Contract Specialist Molly Jackson and approved by Contracting Officer Daniel O’Donnell.

This solicitation outline details the requirements for a Navy procurement effort. To participate, offerors must hold an active System for Award Management (SAM) registration and submit bids valid for 60 calendar days. The procurement involves export-controlled documents, requiring vendors to submit an approved DD Form 2345 to the contracting point of contact by September 16, 2026, to receive the Statement of Work and technical drawings. Only new equipment under manufacturer's warranty will be accepted. Delivery is specified as FOB Origin to NAVAIR Lakehurst, New Jersey, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the contractor's facility. Invoices must be processed through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system. Evaluation is based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria. To qualify, an offeror must be a small business under the solicitation's NAICS code, quote the exact part numbers and quantities, and commit to a delivery window of 100 days after receipt of order (ARO). Additionally, vendors must have acceptable past performance, an active NIST SP 800-171 assessment, and a Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS). Proposals must be submitted via email to Molly Jackson by October 5, 2026.

This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the manufacturing and delivery requirements for one Residual Stress Main Landing Gear (MLG) Inspection Set (P/N: 3867AS1630-1) and one Main Landing Gear Capture Lock Test Set (P/N: 3867AS1635-1) in support of the F/A-18 E/F program. The Government will provide the Technical Drawing Package, and the contractor must deliver the serialized equipment to the NAVAIR Lakehurst SE Staging Facility in New Jersey within 100 days of contract award. The contractor is responsible for meeting strict Packaging, Storage, Handling, and Transportation (PHS&T) standards. Materials must be packed in accordance with ASTM D3951-18, using heat- or chemically-treated wood packaging and avoiding prohibited loose-fill materials. Shipments must be marked per MIL-STD-129R, include special protective labels, and comply with Department of Transportation and military regulations. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the contractor's facility via the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), with shipment coordination managed through DCMA’s Shipment Instructions Request (SIR) eTool under FOB Origin terms. Additionally, contractors must comply with federal cybersecurity requirements. Because the acquired items involve Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), the contractor must meet Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 Self-Assessment requirements, which entail implementing the 110 security controls of NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 and recording scores in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS).

This federal procurement document outlines a requirement for specialized aviation maintenance equipment. It specifies two Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) for acquisition: CLIN 0001 requests one Residual Stress Inspection Set for Main Landing Gear (Part Number 3867AS1630-1), and CLIN 0002 requests one Main Landing Gear Capture Lock Test Set (Part Number 3867AS1635-1). These items are critical for the testing, inspection, and maintenance of main landing gear assemblies.
