This Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) is in support of Market Research being conducted by the Defense Logistics Agency to identify potential manufacturing/supply sources, and if future efforts can be competitive or Set Aside for Small Business.
The proposed North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is 336413 which has a corresponding Size Standard of 1,250 employees. This SSS is to notify companies that the Defense Logistics Agency, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, is seeking qualified sources for the acquisition of a CONTROL, SPECIAL, NSN: 1680-01-678-7911, Part Number: 1007847-30 in support of the BLACK HAWK weapon system.
This part must be acquired from a manufacturing source(s) specified on a source control or selected item drawing as defined by the current version of DoD-STD-100. Suitable technical data, Government data rights, or manufacturing knowledge are not available to permit acquisition from other sources, nor qualification testing of another part, nor use of a second source part in the intended application.
Although, by DoD-STD-100 definition, altered and selected items shall have an adequate technical data package, data review discloses that required data or data rights are not in Government possession and cannot be economically obtained. As a result, this acquisition is currently being procured under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1(a)(1) having only one responsible source.
The Government is interested in all businesses to include 8(a), small business and small disadvantaged business, Service-Disabled Veteran- Owned, Hubzone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. All contractors must meet prequalification requirements in order to be registered as a potential source. Firms that possess the ability and can produce the required item(s) described above are encouraged to identify themselves.
Contractors are encouraged to seek source approval in order to compete for future solicitations by visiting AvMC's public website: amrdec.army.afpims.mil/Director...
The contractor shall be capable of successfully performing and complying with any and all special requirements in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the solicitation annotated above, at the unit prices established at time of a contract award. The contractor will be responsible for recurring and nonrecurring engineering services associated with becoming a qualified source.
The contractor will also be responsible for all aspects of the manufacturing/production process, including but not limited to: supply chain management, logistics, forecasting of parts, long-lead parts procurement, material forecasting, obsolescence issues and final delivery of assets as well as any and all additional costs incurred resulting from contract performance. Disclaimer: this SSS is issued solely for informational and planning purposes.
It does not constitute a solicitation (request for proposal or request for quotation) or a promise to issue a solicitation in the future and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government. Responses in any form are not offers and the Government is under no obligation to award a contract as a result of this announcement. No funds are available to pay for preparation of responses to this announcement.
Any information submitted by respondents to this technical description is strictly voluntary. This acquisition contains technical data whose export is restricted by the arms export control act (title 22, USC., sec 2751 ET SEQ) or the export administration act (title 50, USC., app 2401-2402) executive order 12470. This information cannot be released outside the untied states without prior approval of the Government.
"Export control requires the applicable certifications to be current for both the QUOTER and manufacturer. The offeror and any source(S) of supply it will use for contract performance must have an active united states/Canada joint certification program (JCP) certification to access export-controlled data. DLA does not intend to delay award in order for an ineligible offer or its source(S) supply to apply for and receive authority approval to access the exportcontrolled data."
