47--FITTING ASSY

The Department of the Navy is soliciting proposals for the procurement of a fitting assembly. The assembly is designated as a special emphasis material, and its use in a crucial shipboard system requires strict control procedures to ensure receipt of correct material. The contract will be awarded pursuant to Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities, and the resultant award will be a DO rated order certified for national defense use under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS). The scope of the contract includes the material covered in this contract/purchase order, which will be used in a crucial shipboard system. The use of incorrect or defective material would create a high probability of failure resulting in serious personnel injury, loss of life, loss of vital shipboard systems, or loss of the ship itself. The contract will be for a one-year period from the date of delivery. Key considerations for the proposal include: • The material has been designated as SPECIAL EMPHASIS material (Level I, Scope of Certification, or Quality Assured) • The contract will be awarded pursuant to Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities • The resultant award will be a DO rated order certified for national defense use under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) • The contractor must ensure that all materials supplied are correct and free from defects • The contractor must comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
