28 -- Fan Frame Weldment

The Air Force has issued a notice under FAR 9.2 announcing the establishment of Qualification Requirements (QRs) for companies interested in the repair and overhaul of specific Fan Frame Weldment items identified by their NSNs and part numbers. This action initiates a source approval process, meaning companies must demonstrate their capability to perform these repairs but does not indicate an immediate plan to procure such services. Additionally, the Air Force does not currently have the necessary technical data for these repairs. Interested parties seeking a copy of the Qualification Requirements must submit a written request directly to the Small Business Office at Tinker AFB; email, fax, or telephone requests are not accepted unless they meet the written request criteria. This notice is strictly for qualification purposes and is not a solicitation or request for proposal. No response or proposal deadlines are provided. The items covered include Fan Frame Weldments associated with NSNs 2840-01-206-9815PN and 2840-01-263-1563PN, along with their respective part numbers. While the contract data lists minimal additional details such as the solicitation number and posting date, there is no specific set-aside, NAICS code, or agency information included. This process is intended to identify qualified sources capable of repair, enabling the Air Force to establish an approved vendor list for these components should future repair needs arise.
