28 -- HPT Nozzle Assembly

The Air Force has issued a notice under FAR 9.2 establishing Qualification Requirements (QRs) for companies interested in manufacturing multiple High-Pressure Turbine (HPT) nozzle assemblies identified by specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs) and Part Numbers (PNs). This notice serves to inform potential suppliers that they must undergo a source approval process to be qualified to manufacture these parts. Importantly, this announcement does not indicate an imminent procurement, nor does it provide access to drawings or detailed specifications. Requests for copies of the Qualification Requirements must be submitted in writing directly to the Small Business Office at Tinker Air Force Base, with strict guidelines against telephone inquiries and indirect requests. The items covered include several variations of HPT nozzle assemblies, each listed with their corresponding NSNs and PNs. This is a sources sought notice rather than a solicitation or request for proposal, meaning it is aimed at identifying capable manufacturers for future qualification purposes rather than current contract award. There is no set response or issue date, and further details, including specifications and contract awards, are not provided at this stage. Interested parties are encouraged to follow the outlined written request procedures to obtain the qualification criteria necessary for potential future manufacturing opportunities.
