The U.S. Government is conducting a market survey of industry to identify sources that are interested in manufacturing the subject Lugs, Suspension, Aircraft Ordnance, MS3114 and MK3-0. The POC is Nicole Kirchgesner,
+1 (555) 000-0000,
contact@example.gov. The Government anticipates a single, 5 year contract will be awarded for both of the suspension lugs from the contemplated solicitation. The descriptions of the items are as follows: The Lug, Suspension, Aircraft Ordnance, MS3314 NSN: 1325-00-116-4452 P/N: V4036600, is used to suspend 500 and 1,000 lb class General Purpose (GP) and practice bombs from fighter jets. The lug is approximately 2.5 inches long and 1.75 inches in diameter. The lug is fabricated from 4340 type steel and heat treated to achieve the necessary hardness, with a 1.75 12-UNC-3A thread. The Lug, Suspension, Aircraft Ordnance, MK3-0 NSN: 1325-00-684-1364 P/N: 55A43C3, is used to suspend 2,000 lb class General Purpose (GP) and practice bombs from fighter jets. The lug is approximately 3.62 inches long and 2.5 inches in diameter. The lug is fabricated from 4340 type steel and heat treated to achieve the necessary hardness, with a 2.500 12-UN-3A thread. These lugs are also plated with cadmium or zinc protective finish. The threading process is critical to the combat effectiveness of the items.
