16 -- Repair/Overhaul of Drive Unit Hydraulic

The Air Force has issued a notice establishing Qualification Requirements for the repair and overhaul of specific Drive Unit Hydraulic components used in F-16C/D aircraft. These components are identified by NSN 1650-01-261-8078 and 1650-01-308-0839 with part numbers 2048666-1-1 and 2048666-2-1, respectively. This notice is not a solicitation or request for proposal but serves to inform interested parties that they must meet certain standards outlined in the Qualification Requirements to be considered as a potential source for overhaul work. The detailed requirements and source approval process are accessible via a downloadable booklet from the Small Business Office at the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center website. Only sources with experience producing the subject or comparable items will be considered. Interested parties are required to submit written requests for the Qualification Requirements booklet directly to the Small Business Office at Tinker Air Force Base, either by mail, fax, or email, with no telephone requests accepted. This process ensures that potential vendors are qualified before any official solicitation or contract can be pursued for this work. The notice pertains specifically to an industry capability assessment rather than a formal procurement action.
