99--BRACKET

The US Navy is soliciting a proposal for the acquisition of a bracket, specified by NSN 1R-9999-LLJY9K914-V2, TDP VER 001, with a quantity of 1 EA, and delivery FOB origin. The item requires Government source approval prior to contract award, and only sources previously approved by the Government for this item have been solicited. Interested parties must submit their proposal within 45 days after the date of publication of the synopsis, and must meet the qualification requirements at the time of award. The solicitation is not a request for competitive proposals, but all proposals received will be considered. Some key points to consider are: * The item is flight critical and/or the technical data available has not been determined adequate to support acquisition via full and open competition. * The time required for approval of a new source is normally such that an award cannot be delayed pending approval of a new source. * The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. * All responsible sources may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements.
