What this opportunity is
The Department of Defense is seeking a small business to provide a casting sleeve, specifically a forward bearing journal sleeve made from a copper-nickel alloy (70/30). This opportunity is set aside for total small businesses and requires Level I material certifications and compliance with specific mechanical and chemical testing standards. Interested vendors should note that this is a combined synopsis/solicitation, meaning they must track the notice closely to submit quotes, as no formal solicitation package will be issued.

LEVEL 1 MATERIAL
FOB Point: Destination (Contractor bears shipping costs/risk to the delivery point)
Inspection & Acceptance: SOURCE / SOURCE (Mandatory). This requirement
mandates Government Source Inspection (GSI). A Defense Contract Management
Agency (DCMA) Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) must perform in-process
quality audits, verify raw mill heat logs, and execute final acceptance at the manufacturing
facility prior to shipment. Standard commercial destination acceptance is not permitted for
this Level I safety item.
Material Control (Level I): The contractor must provide unbroken, original
(untranscribed) Objective Quality Evidence (OQE) from the raw metal mill run, mapped
directly to unique physical markings etched onto each component.
3. Small Business Set-Aside & Nonmanufacturer Rule (NMR) Notice
This requirement is initially set aside for small business concerns. In accordance with FAR
52.219-33, any small business distributor or non-manufacturer submitting a quote must provide
a product manufactured by a domestic small business concern. GSI will be mandated at the
physical location of the actual domestic manufacturer.
4. Cascading Evaluation & Market Research Provisions
To guarantee a timely award and protect the supply chain, a cascading evaluation procedure
will be used:
Initial Preference: Quotes from eligible small business concerns will be evaluated first.
Automatic Dissolution: If market research or the evaluation process reveals there is no
reasonable expectation of receivingor if the government does not receiveat least two
(2) technically acceptable quotes from responsible small business concerns, the small
business set-aside will automatically dissolve.
Large Business Participation: Large businesses are highly encouraged to submit a
quote. In the event the small business set-aside dissolves, the government will
simultaneously proceed to evaluate quotes submitted by large business concerns under
full and open competitive procedures without re-advertising.

5. Source Approval Requests (SAR)
If the offeror (or their underlying manufacturer) is not currently an approved military source for
this Level I part, a complete Source Approval Request (SAR) package must be submitted
concurrently with the quote. Offers from unapproved sources failing to submit a technically
sufficient SAR package will be rejected without further evaluation.
6. Submission Instructions & Evaluation Criteria
Quotes must include a technical data sheet confirming compliance with Level I traceability,
confirmation of ability to host DCMA for GSI at the manufacturing origin, and a complete price
breakdown.
EVALUATION CRITERIA (Lowest Price Technically Acceptable): Award will be made to the
lowest-priced, responsible offeror whose quote conforms to the solicitation and is determined to
be technically acceptable (subject to the cascading rules outlined in Section 4). To be
determined technically acceptable, the offeror must explicitly agree to and demonstrate
compliance with:
1. FAR 52.246-11 Higher-Level Contract Quality Requirement: Full compliance with ISO
9001, AS9100, or equivalent military quality frameworks.
2. Level I Traceability: Provision of original, untranscribed mill test reports tracked to
unique Material Identification and Control (MIC) numbers physically marked on the parts.
3. Specialty Metals Compliance: Adh…
