17--STRUCTURAL COMPONEN

The solicitation (SPRPA126RZA18, NAICS 336413) seeks new spares for a flight‑critical shipboard system that enables aircraft launch and recovery. All items must be marked per MIL‑STD‑130, packaged to MIL‑STD‑2073, and meet the extensive quality‑assurance requirements outlined in the First Article Approval (FAA) clause. Offerors must explicitly state whether their price is based on a waiver of the FAA; otherwise the price will be assumed to include compliance. If FAA is granted, the production delivery schedule is reduced by the time required for the First Article Test unit and the government’s conditional‑approval notification. Contractors unable to meet the baseline schedule must propose an alternate delivery schedule. First Article testing must achieve 100 % conformance; the First Article Test Report (CDRL 39) is required, and the unit may be counted toward production quantities only if undamaged and conforming. Final inspection, including optional government witness, must be coordinated with NAWC‑Lakehurst at least 14 days in advance, and a full suite of NDT methods (magnetic particle, penetrant, radiographic, ultrasonic, high‑shock, vibration) is mandated. Only firms that have received engineering source approval from Naval Air Systems Command (NASC) are eligible for award. New manufacturers must undergo a pre‑award survey and a post‑award conference; existing sources may be required to attend a post‑award conference. Companies without prior approval may submit a Source Approval Request—including recent configuration drawings and process/operation sheets—for evaluation per the NAVSUP WSS Source Approval brochure; incomplete submissions will be disqualified. The government may conduct a reverse auction (L09, Oct 2016) and will evaluate proposals on price, delivery timeframe, and past performance, with non‑price factors weighted approximately equal to price.
