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. 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 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 are submitted by replying to the original email. Award notifications for the lowest and technically acceptable bids will be communicated directly by the buyer.
