    NAWCAD has launched a new tool to manage acquisitions using Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) as of September 30, 2023, due to being unable to solicit new requirements on the Unison platform. This tool ensures consistent communication of new solicitations to vendors with established BPA contracts, fair evaluation of responses, and audit readiness by preserving all correspondence. It does not support reverse auctions, expecting vendors' best offers upfront. Vendors will be notified of new solicitations via email from NAVAIR_Acquisition@us.navy.mil, with subjects including a Buy Number and an Assigned Vendor Specific Number. Emails will contain an Excel attachment with multiple sheets: General Information, Bidding Requirements, Buy Terms, and Line Item Input. To submit a bid, vendors must complete the green-headed cells on the Line Item Input tab, save the Excel file, and reply to the original email. Questions are submitted by replying to the original email. Award notifications for the lowest and technically acceptable bid will be made directly by the buyer.
