The Naval Air Warfare Center – Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) has introduced a new tool for managing acquisitions via Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs), effective September 30, 2023. This tool replaces the Unison platform for new solicitations and ensures consistent communication with vendors, fair evaluation of responses, and audit readiness. It does not support reverse auctions, requiring vendors to submit their best offer initially. Vendors will be notified of new solicitations via email from NAVAIR_Acquisition@us.navy.mil, with subjects containing a Buy Number and an Assigned Vendor Specific Number. Each email will include 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 also submitted by replying to the original email. Bid winners, identified by the lowest technically acceptable offer, will be directly contacted by the buyer.
