16 -- Linear Electromechanical Actuator

The Air Force has issued a notice establishing Qualification Requirements (QRs) under FAR 9.2 for companies interested in the repair and overhaul of specific electromechanical actuators identified by their National Stock Numbers (NSNs) and Part Numbers (PNs). This notification serves as a means to initiate a source approval process, requiring interested companies to meet specified qualifications before they can be considered for future repair or overhaul tasks. However, the Air Force is not actively seeking repair or overhaul services at this time, nor does it currently possess the technical data necessary for these services. Requests for the QRs must be submitted in writing to the Small Business Office at Tinker Air Force Base, with strict instructions that telephonic requests are not accepted and only direct written requests from interested parties will be considered. The notice specifically references three items: Linear Electromechanical Actuator NSN 1680-00-948-1024RK (PN 541588-3-1), Trim Electromechanical Actuator NSN 1680-01-266-5927RK (PN Y54A), and Linear Electromechanical Actuator NSN 1680-01-509-7158RK (PN 2B9210A). No solicitation or requests for proposals (RFPs) are being issued at this time, and there is no set date for potential future issues or responses. This is essentially a procedural step to identify and qualify potential sources who may eventually be eligible to perform repair or overhaul work should the Air Force decide to proceed.
