The Department of Defense, through the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Weapon Systems Support, is soliciting proposals for the manufacture of a gearbox assembly, classified as a critical application item. This procurement is a sole source requirement, necessitating engineering source approval from the Naval Air Systems Command, as the government lacks sufficient data to contract with other sources. The selected contractor will be responsible for providing detailed documentation, including configuration drawings and inspection methods, to ensure compliance with stringent quality assurance standards. Interested parties must contact Katlyn Galetto at KATLYN.GALETTO@NAVY.MIL or by phone at 215-697-6549 for further information, and proposals must remain valid for a minimum of 120 days following submission.
