This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposal. Based on the market research, the Government's need cannot be met by a type of item customarily available in the marketplace.

The MIDS JTRS’ units are certified as 3C, which means these parts require engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the quality of the parts. Existing unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge by the qualified source requires acquisition of the part from the approved source.  The approved source retains data rights, manufacturing knowledge, or technical data that are not economically available to the Government, and the data or knowledge is essential to maintaining the quality of the parts.  An alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, as approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity.  The qualification procedures must be approved by the Government engineering activity having jurisdiction over the part in the intended application.

The time required for approval of a new source is such that an award cannot be delayed pending approval of a new source. If you are not an approved source, you must submit, together with your proposal, the information detailed in the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Source Approval Information Brochures listed below.
