This solicitation is being issued under Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities (EAF), formerly known as SEPA.
Drawings and technical data are not available for this solicitation/requirement.
This requirement requires Government source approval. Quotes/proposals received from sources which are not Government-approved sources of supply will be deemed technically unacceptable, and therefore ineligible for award.
Quotes/proposals from dealers/distributors for government approved source(s) MUST submit a copy of their authorized distributor letter (on the actual manufacturer?s letterhead) to the buyer/point of contact indicated on the solicitation via email, at time of
quote/proposal submittal.
NAVSUP WSS Code N2 has determined that the requirements at DFARS 211.274 whichmandates the use of DFARS clause 252.211-7003 "Item Unique Identification and Valuation" in all solicitations and contracts, be deleted from all non-CLSSAFMS spares
requirements processed by NAVSUP WSS and DLA-Aviation. The affected parts are wholly owned by FMS customer countries, arenot covered by a Cooperative Logistics Supply Support Arrangement (CLSSA), thesesame assets will be delivered to the customer country for
their sole use.
The IUID definition at DFARS 211.274-1 says IUID "is a system of marking, valuing and tracking items delivered to DoD." These spares are non-CLSSA FMS assets and will never be delivered to DoD. The assets are delivered to a domestic U.S. freight forwarder
who is under contract by the FMS customer to ship the assets to the country of record.
The FMS customer countries retain ownership of their parts throughout the asset's lifecycle. These parts will never be owned by the U.S. Government, and will never be entered into the DoD supply chain. Based on this, there is no needfor these non-CLSSA FMS
country assets to be specially marked for tracking by DoD.
All potential offers shall provide newly manufactured spares only. Refurbished, remanufactured, or repaired material will not be acceptable;Offers for such are ineligible for award.
Offerors are advised that offers received from sources which are not government-approved sources of supply will be deemed technically unacceptable, and therefore ineligible for award. Any distributors of approved source(s) MUST submit a copy of their authorized
distributor letter, on the source?s letterhead, to the buyer point of contact indicated on the solicitation via email, at time of proposal submittal.
