The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Navy, is seeking a single source for the supply of insulation blankets for aircraft. This is a presolicitation notice, with the actual solicitation to come at a later date.
The NSN 1R-1660-LLHPAW380-V2 item is a critical flight component requiring engineering approval for quality maintenance. Due to the retention of data rights and essential technical knowledge by approved sources, acquisition is limited to them. However, new sources may qualify by providing the necessary data and obtaining approval from the relevant government engineering activity.
The primary purpose of this opportunity is to award a contract for the supply of these insulation blankets, with a specific focus on maintaining the quality and uniqueness of the product. The contract will likely be exclusive to the approved source, but other responsible sources may express their interest and capabilities.
Eligible applicants should be able to demonstrate their qualifications and provide the necessary data for source approval. This may include submitting information detailed in the NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Information Brochures.
Funding and contract details are not yet finalized, and responsible sources have 45 days from the publication of this notice to submit their interest. The contact for this opportunity is JAKE KUCOWSKI, N731.52, at the provided email and phone number.
