15 -- Panel Structural

This contract pertains to the qualification and approval of manufacturers for the supply of structural panels identified by NSNs 1560-01-350-2751EK and 1560-01-350-2752EK, both with McDonnell Douglas as the prime contractor. Only manufacturers who have successfully completed all required testing either by the original design company or have proven capability on government-determined equivalent items of similar complexity and criticality are eligible as approved sources. The contract emphasizes the critical nature of the parts and restricts source approval to those with verified technical qualifications. Requests for the qualification requirements must be made in writing directly to the Small Business Office at OC-ALC/BC located at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma, and electronic or fax submissions are accepted, whereas telephone inquiries are not. This solicitation is a sources sought notice rather than a request for proposal, with no specified issue or response dates. Additional key details, including solicitation number and related parts information, are available via the provided online portal, but no set-aside or NAICS codes are indicated, revealing the focus is on identifying viable qualified manufacturers rather than immediate procurement.
