Quick analysis
NAVSUP WSS Mechanicsburg RFQ to procure Level 1 TILE, RUBBER (NSN 5840-01-501-5599) with OEM/approved-source restrictions and MIL-I-45208A-equivalent inspection system certification.
Solicitation indicates intent to negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1; non-manufacturers must present OEM authorization, and item will be acquired from approved sources only.
This is a commodity/supply buy outside Trace’s core integration/SATCOM/CDS/MPE lanes, with manufacturing quality system and source-approval requirements we do not hold per company profile.
Given sole-source posture, approved-source restriction, and lack of relevant past performance/capability, this opportunity is not a fit for Trace.
Scope summary
- Supply TILE, RUBBER, NSN 5840-01-501-5599; quantities indicate two 500 EA line items plus DD1423 and Production Lot Test.
- Level 1 item: acquired from approved sources only; non-manufacturers must submit OEM authorization.
- Inspection system must conform to MIL-I-45208A or equivalent, certified by a joint DCMA/NAVSUP WSS survey team.
- Government Source Inspection; Inspection/Acceptance at origin.
- Packaging per MIL-STD-2073 and NAVSEA PHS&T 05P1-13.
- IUID per DFARS 252.211-7003.
- FOB Origin; do not include shipping costs; shipping terms per WSSTERMFZ02.
- Provision of PTAT (procurement delivery lead time) in days; accelerated delivery encouraged under EAF.
- Compliance with DFARS 252.204-7012 (cyber incident reporting) and other standard FAR/DFARS clauses.
- Electronic quote to NAVSUP WSS with unit/total price, CAGE, quote validity (≥90 days), and any BOA/IDIQ details if applicable.
Dimension scores
Total
- 10/100
Technical Fit
- 2/20
The requirement is a commodity supply (TILE, RUBBER, NSN 5840-01-501-5599) with manufacturing/quality system needs (MIL-I-45208A-equivalent, Level 1 item, Production Lot Test). This is outside Trace’s core capabilities (SATCOM/LEO, CDS/NSA TI, MPE, edge compute, IT O&M). Evidence: RFQ sections citing Level 1 item, OEM authorization, packaging and inspection requirements.
Past Performance
- 2/20
No cited Trace past performance in NAVSUP WSS commodity manufacturing/supply. Company profile lists DISA MPE-S, Army FSR, USAF/USSF/MDA programs—not NAVSUP commodity buys. Mission/contract type differ materially from Trace’s record.
Vehicles / Contract Access
- 5/10
This appears to be a standalone RFQ on SAM (not restricted to a specific IDIQ vehicle Trace lacks). However, the notice indicates intent to solicit/negotiated with only one source under FAR 6.302-1, which does not affect vehicle access but does limit competitiveness. Evidence: SAM synopsis and RFQ indicate sole-source intent.
Competitive Position
- 0/15
RFQ states Level 1 item acquired from approved sources only and cites intent to negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1. Trace is not an OEM nor listed as an approved source per available evidence, creating a clear disqualifier without OEM authorization and source approval. Evidence: solicitation excerpts on approved sources and sole-source intent.
Risk
- 1/15
Very high risk of non-qualification: approved-source restriction, need for MIL-I-45208A-equivalent inspection system certified by DCMA/NAVSUP, Government Source Inspection, Production Lot Test, and rapid delivery under Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities. These introduce qualification, schedule, and compliance risks that Trace cannot readily mitigate.
Strategic Value
- 0/10
Commodity rubber tile supply provides no strategic alignment to Trace’s targeted lanes (SATCOM/LEO, CDS/MPE, C5ISR/edge, managed services). Does not open a priority agency relationship or vehicle; minimal broader value.
Compliance
- 0/10
Key compliance hurdles are unmet: Level 1 approved-source requirement and MIL-I-45208A-equivalent inspection system certification by DCMA/NAVSUP. Absent OEM status/authorization and source approval, Trace is likely disqualified. Evidence: RFQ requirements for approved sources and inspection system certification.
Concerns
- Sole-source posture under FAR 6.302-1 limits award likelihood for non-approved sources.
- Approved-source restriction for a Level 1 item; Trace is not an OEM/approved source per available evidence.
- MIL-I-45208A-equivalent inspection system certification requirement presents a likely compliance gap.
- Government Source Inspection and destructive Production Lot Test add schedule/cost/qualification risk.
- Short or uncertain lead times under Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities may be difficult to meet without established supply chain.
- Partial document visibility may obscure additional restrictive requirements (e.g., drawings, QPL/QPD).
Teaming opportunities
- OEM or approved-source manufacturer/distributor partner with documented authorization.
- Access to an inspection system conforming to MIL-I-45208A (or equivalent) with DCMA/NAVSUP certification.
- Packaging/marking capability for MIL-STD-2073 and NAVSEA PHS&T 05P1-13.
- Established process for Government Source Inspection coordination and lot testing.
- IUID marking capability per DFARS 252.211-7003.
Competitive position
- No compelling win themes identified; requirement is a commodity supply restricted to approved sources, outside Trace’s differentiation areas.
Bid/No bid factors
- Notice of intent to negotiate with only one source (FAR 6.302-1).
- Level 1 item—approved sources only.
- MIL-I-45208A-equivalent inspection system certification required.
- Commodity supply not aligned to Trace core capabilities.
- Partial RFQ access; unreadable/partial documents may contain further restrictions.
