Source Approval Requirements
This is a source-controlled item. Existing unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing/repair knowledge held by qualified sources necessitate acquisition from approved sources.

- New sources must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity.
- Information for new source qualification is detailed in the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Source Approval Information Brochures (links provided in the original notice for Spares and Repair).
- Offers from unapproved sources must include all required source approval data. Failure to provide this data will result in offers not being considered.
