28 -- Nozzle, Turbine, AirC

This contract pertains to qualification requirements established by Engineering for a specific F100 engine component, the turbine nozzle (NSN: 2840-00-803-6721, PN: 798452CL9). These requirements apply to all models and series of F100 engine items designated as Critical Safety Items by the Cognizant Engineering Authority, excluding Flight Safety Critical Parts. The manufacturing qualification is governed by a separate authorization document signed by the responsible engineering authority. Previous approvals under earlier revisions of the manufacturing qualification remain valid unless superseded by a more recent authorized document. Requests for copies of the Qualification Requirements must be submitted in writing to the designated Small Business Office at Tinker AFB, with no telephone requests accepted. This announcement, listed under the NAICS code 336412, is a sources-sought notice rather than a request for proposal, indicating an effort to identify capable sources for the turbine nozzle component used in F100 engines. The solicitation was posted in December 2006, with no specified response deadline. The contract details emphasize compliance with qualification standards and demonstrate the importance of oversight by the designated engineering authority to ensure product safety and performance in critical engine components.
