16 -- Manifold Hydraulic

The contract seeks qualified manufacturers for the supply of a critical hydraulic manifold component (NSN: 1650-01-188-7070HS, PN: 300352-101) originally designed by Parker Hannifin. Due to the part's complexity and importance, only manufacturers who have successfully completed all required testing performed by the original design authority or have proven equivalently rigorous testing on similar aerospace components are eligible sources. This ensures that the part meets stringent performance and safety standards. Interested parties must request the qualification requirements in writing directly from the Small Business Office at OC-ALC, Tinker AFB, Oklahoma; electronic or fax requests are accepted, but telephone inquiries are not. This announcement is a sources-sought notice rather than a solicitation or request for proposal, with no specified response deadline. It serves to identify and approve manufacturers capable of meeting these specialized demands before any procurement action. The contract information, including solicitation reference and part details, emphasize the need for validated capability and prior testing success to be considered an approved source for this vital aerospace component.
