Quick analysis
RFQ N00104-26-Q-QB26 (NAVSUP WSS Mechanicsburg) seeks teardown/evaluate/repair/modify services for a Navy computer subassembly (NSN referenced as 7021-01-659-6181), Qty 7 EA with an option up to +100%.
Key terms include desired Repair Turnaround Time (RTAT) of 101 days, Government Source Inspection (GSI), FOB Origin with Navy freight via CAV, bilateral award acceptance, and DFARS 252.204-7012 safeguarding applicability.
Only sections 1 and 15 of the 28-section RFQ were extracted; detailed technical/quality/packaging/approved-source requirements may exist in unreviewed sections.
This requirement is outside Trace’s core capabilities (depot-level repair of specific NSN hardware) and offers low strategic value; competitive position is likely weak absent OEM/approved-repair-source status.
Scope summary
- Perform teardown, evaluation, repair and/or modification of Navy computer subassembly (NSN referenced as 7021-01-659-6181).
- Base quantity 7 EA; option up to 100% of base quantity.
- Meet desired Repair Turnaround Time (RTAT) of 101 days; propose RTAT in quote; accelerated delivery acceptable.
- Government Source Inspection (GSI) required.
- FOB Origin; freight via Navy Commercial Asset Visibility (CAV) SOW.
- Provide unit price, total price, and RTAT in quotation; accommodate T&E/BR-BER determinations per solicitation pricing terms.
- Bilateral award; contractor must provide written acceptance.
- Comply with DFARS 252.204-7012 safeguarding and FAR 52.204-10 reporting.
- Provide Awardee CAGE and Inspection & Acceptance CAGE information.
Dimension scores
Total
- 23/100
Technical Fit
- 3/20
Work centers on teardown/evaluate/repair/modify of a specific Navy computer subassembly NSN (evidence: line item 0001 and NSN in extracted sections). Trace’s core capabilities emphasize SATCOM/LEO, CDS/NSA TI, MPE/edge compute, SE&I, and managed IT—not depot-level hardware repair of NSN-controlled avionics/computer subassemblies. This is outside core lanes (scoring guidance 0–4).
Past Performance
- 3/20
No cited past performance in NAVSUP WSS depot repair for specific NSNs. Trace’s portfolio (MPE-S, ABMS, EMSS, GTACS II FSR, etc.) is not directly analogous to Navy spares repair. Thus, limited transferability (scoring guidance 0–4).
Vehicles / Contract Access
- 5/10
Full and open RFQ on SAM with no set-aside (evidence: ledger ‘set_aside: No Set aside used’). Not restricted to a vehicle; accessible without a specific IDIQ, hence mid-range per guidance (4–7).
Competitive Position
- 2/15
NSN-specific repair buys from NAVSUP commonly rely on OEM/approved repair sources; extracted sections show GSI, CAV, and NSN-specific line item but do not show Trace as an approved source. Absent evidence of OEM/approved-source status or prior NAVSUP repair, Trace is an underdog versus niche OEM/depots.
Risk
- 4/15
High execution and qualification risk: likely need source approval/technical data and specialized test equipment; GSI and CAV processes apply; RTAT 101-day requirement. Capability and qualification uncertainties dominate (evidence: GSI, CAV SOW, RTAT). Partial document visibility increases risk of undiscovered quality/packaging/IUID clauses.
Strategic Value
- 2/10
Small-quantity repair buy with limited expansion potential and outside Trace’s strategic lanes (LEO/Starshield, CDS/MPE, JADC2). Does not clearly open a new agency mission lane or CCMD for Trace.
Compliance
- 4/10
No set-aside barrier; DFARS 252.204-7012 and CAGE requirements noted. However, potential approved-source or technical qualification requirements (likely in unreviewed sections) pose significant compliance uncertainty for Trace’s capabilities.
Concerns
- Potential requirement to be an OEM/approved repair source for the NSN (not confirmed due to partial document review).
- Lack of access to technical data, drawings, or test procedures necessary for repair.
- GSI and CAV process adherence risk for a contractor without prior NAVSUP repair history.
- Schedule risk meeting 101-day RTAT without established repair pipeline.
- Pricing uncertainty for beyond-repair (BR/BER) determinations and T&E fee handling.
- Unreviewed sections may contain additional quality, packaging, IUID, or source-control clauses that could be material.
Teaming opportunities
- OEM or Navy-approved repair depot for NSN 7021-01-659-6181.
- Access to required technical data, drawings, and specialized test equipment/fixtures.
- CAV process experience and systems for shipping/receiving and status updates.
- Quality/inspection program aligned to GSI and any NAVSUP QAPs (details likely in unreviewed sections).
Competitive position
- None compelling without an OEM/approved-repair partner; potential minor differentiator only if offering accelerated RTAT.
Bid/No bid factors
- NSN-specific depot repair typically limited to OEM/approved sources; Trace has no evidence of such status.
- NAICS 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) is outside Trace’s core pursuit lanes (listed as lower BD priority).
- Partial document visibility (only sections 1 and 15) limits clarity on mandatory approved-source/quality requirements.
