SIGHTING POLE ASSEM

The solicitation (SPRPA125QLR46) seeks a contractor to fabricate, assemble, and deliver flight‑critical sighting pole assemblies in accordance with drawing set 3429AS2140‑3429AS2149. All items must be marked per MIL‑STD‑130, undergo 100 % inspection of critical, major and minor dimensions, plating, hardness and nondestructive testing, and be packaged with a clearly labeled “INSPECTION/CERTIFICATION DATA INCLUDED” packet containing dimensional, material‑property, locking‑type, and identification data as specified. Acceptance requires full conformance to the First Article Testing requirements; any deviation results in rejection. Delivery schedules are reduced by the First Article Test unit lead time and government approval period unless the offeror explicitly waives the First Article Approval requirement and states this in the price proposal. Quality‑assurance sampling follows ANSI Z1.4 (AQL, General Inspection Level II) with traceability markings that are non‑permanent. Only manufacturers that have obtained Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) source approval are eligible. New manufacturers must undergo a pre‑award survey and post‑award conference; existing sources may be required to attend a post‑award conference. Prospective awardees must submit a Source Approval Request by the solicitation close date, including recent configuration drawings of a similar part, complete process/operation sheets, purchase orders/shipping records, a comparative analysis of the similar part versus the required part, and inspection method sheets. The solicitation is being issued under Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities (EAF) authority, and all proposals must indicate whether the price is based on a waiver of the First Article Approval requirement.
