28 -- Housing Assy, #2 Bearing

The Air Force has established Qualification Requirements (QRs) for companies interested in manufacturing specific components identified by their National Stock Numbers (NSNs) and Part Numbers (PNs), specifically housing assemblies for #2 bearings. This notice serves as an announcement that a source approval process is necessary for potential manufacturers to be considered qualified suppliers, but it does not indicate any immediate plans to purchase these items, nor does it provide drawings or specifications at this time. Interested parties must submit a written request directly to the Small Business Office at Tinker Air Force Base to obtain a copy of the qualification requirements; fax or email requests are acceptable, but telephone inquiries are not. This is not a solicitation or a request for proposal, and no formal offer or submission deadlines have been set. The items in question are identified as NSN 2840-00-280-3976, PN 4038606, and NSN 2840-00-343-7644, PN 4028827, both described as housing assemblies for #2 bearings. The posting date of this notice was December 23, 2002, and it is posted as a sources-sought announcement, indicating the Air Force's interest in identifying qualified sources rather than soliciting bids or proposals. Further details or communications must be managed through written correspondence as outlined.
