"E", Qty 1700 EA, Deliver to Defense Distribt'n Depot San Diego San Diego CA -- The estimated award date is 90 days after date of synopsis. NAVICP-Phila. seeks to make a tradeoff award per FAR 15.101-1 (formerly known as a "best value" award) for a 5-year requirements contract (see Note regarding first year's estimated quantity below) for 3 base years plus 2 1yr. options. Quantities are NAVICP's best estimates only. Base Yr. 1 -- 400 each, Base Yr. 2 -- 400 each, Base Year 3 -- 400 each, Option Year 4 -- 250 each, Option Year 5 250 each. Offerors should note that estimates for the option years are less reliable than the base years. NAVICP intends to supply forgings for the first base year estimated quantity as GFM. NOTE: because of the Navy's current requirements for this item, the 400 quantity estimated for the first year may not represent the Navy's full requirement. Only those sources for this item previously approved by the Governmenthave been solicited. The time required for approval of a new supplier is normally such that award cannot be delayed pending approval of the new source. If you have not been solicited and you can furnish either (i) proof of your prior approval as a supplier of this item, or similar items satisfactorily for the Govt or (ii) data showing you have produced the same or similar items satisfactorily for the Govt or a commercial source, or (iii) test data indicating your product can meet service operating requirements, or (iv) other pertinent data concerning your qualifications to produce the required item, please notify the PCO in writing, furnishing said proof of data. Potential offerors submitting such information should note that notwithstanding such submission, the time required for review of the information and the Navy's pending requirements will likely preclude delay of award for this procurement.
