This contract pertains to the qualification requirements outlined in the OC-ALC Source Approval Information Booklet for a highly complex and critical part identified by NSN 2840-01-161-9743NY and part number 9085M50G03, with General Electric as the prime. Only original manufacturers who have completed all requisite testing or those who have successfully tested similar items of comparable complexity and criticality, as determined by the government, are eligible to be considered approved sources. Requests for the Qualification Requirements must be submitted in writing directly to the Small Business Office at Tinker Air Force Base, with no telephone requests accepted. Drawings and technical data can be requested according to the booklet’s stipulations. This is a sources-sought notice rather than a solicitation or request for proposal, indicating that the government is seeking information from potential suppliers but is not currently soliciting bids. No set-aside or agency-specific information is provided. The notice was posted on June 13, 2003, and there is no specified issue or response date. The directive to submit written requests directly from the requester emphasizes strict control over the distribution of sensitive qualification information due to the critical nature of the part.
