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 aims to ensure consistent vendor communication, fair evaluation of responses, and audit readiness. The NAWCAD tool does not support reverse auctions; vendors must submit their best offer. Vendors will receive new solicitation details via email from NAVAIR_Acquisition@us.navy.mil. These emails will include a Buy Number, an Assigned Vendor Specific Number, and an Excel attachment with multiple tabs: General Information, Bidding Requirements, Buy Terms, and Line Item Input. To bid, vendors must complete the green-headed cells in the Line Item Input tab of the Excel file, save it, and reply to the original email with the attached file. Questions can also be submitted by replying to the original email. Award notifications will be sent directly by the buyer to the lowest technically acceptable bidder.
