Vendors will receive solicitation details 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, save the Excel file, and reply to the original email. Questions are also submitted by replying to the original email. Award notifications will be sent directly to the lowest technically acceptable bidder.
