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, as it can no longer use the Unison platform for new solicitations. This tool ensures consistent communication with vendors, fair evaluation of responses, and audit readiness by preserving correspondence. It does not support reverse auctions, requiring vendors to submit their best offers initially. Vendors will be notified of new solicitations via email from NAVAIR_Acquisition@us.navy.mil. These emails will include a unique Buy Number and Vendor Specific Number in the subject line and an Excel attachment containing details across multiple tabs: General Information, Bidding Requirements, Buy Terms, and Line Item Input. To submit a 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 completed attachment. Questions can be submitted by replying to the original email. Award notifications will be direct contact from the buyer to the lowest technically acceptable bidder.
