53--KNOB - AND OTHER REPLACEMENT PARTS

This solicitation seeks 50 units of a flight‑critical knob (NSN 0Q‑5355‑017396916‑SX) and related replacement parts. The current design is deemed unstable, with low yield and marginal performance, prompting a major redesign that will render the existing part obsolete. Only sources previously approved by the Government may submit proposals, and any offer must include the required source‑approval documentation as outlined in the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (WSS) Source Approval Information Brochures. The Government will not use FAR Part 12 (commercial items) for this acquisition, but vendors may indicate interest in supplying a commercial equivalent within 15 days of the notice. Delivery is FOB origin, and the items are needed to support fleet operations. • Part Number: NSN 0Q‑5355‑017396916‑SX (knob and related parts) • Quantity: 50 EA • Delivery: FOB origin (vendor responsibility) • Must be an approved source or submit full source‑approval package with proposal • Technical data and engineering documentation required for approval • No commercial item policy; however, commercial alternatives can be proposed within 15 days • Procurement is for flight‑critical, low‑yield components requiring urgent replacement
