16--ACTUATOR,ELECTRO-ME, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF

The US Navy is soliciting proposals for the repair or modification of an electro-mechanical actuator. The part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain its quality. The approved source(s) retain data rights, manufacturing/repair knowledge, or technical data that are not economically available to the Government. Interested parties must submit information detailed in the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Source Approval Information Brochures. Key aspects of the job include: • The part is flight critical and requires Government source approval prior to contract award • The technical data available has not been determined adequate to support acquisition via full and open competition • Only the source(s) previously approved by the Government for this item have been solicited • The time required for approval of a new source is normally such that an award cannot be delayed pending approval of a new source
