Ensure all information required by the NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Information Brochure is meticulously provided.

Even if you are an approved source, clearly state your approval status and any relevant identifying information in your proposal. Highlight your experience with flight-critical items and your ability to meet the quality standards required by the design control activity.
