28 -- Parts Manufacturer Approval Notice

The Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center’s Propulsion Commodity Council is conducting a pilot program focused on Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) parts for the Department of Defense (DoD). This trial specifically targets Air Force parts related to the T56, TF33, F108 engines and commercial derivative parts for the F110 and F101 engines. The program only considers FAA-approved PMA parts with projected requirements and is seeking input exclusively via email. Interested manufacturers must provide detailed company and part information, including FAA-PMA part numbers, corresponding OEM part numbers, manufacturer names, engine applications, approval dates, types of approval, and current customers. No unsolicited paperwork will be accepted without prior email contact to the designated address. The solicitation referenced under the number USAF-PMA01 was posted on June 26, 2006, and falls under NAICS code 541330. The designated contracting officer is Bruce B. Giddings, reachable via phone or email for further inquiries. The initiative emphasizes clear communication and thorough documentation to assess and potentially incorporate FAA-approved PMA parts into Air Force maintenance and supply chains, aiming to streamline acquisition processes and validate alternative sources for essential engine components.
