28 -- Shroud

The Air Force has issued a notice under FAR 9.2 establishing Qualification Requirements (QRs) for companies interested in manufacturing specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs) and Part Numbers (PNs) listed, namely a shroud and an augmentor casing. This source approval process is mandatory for potential suppliers, but the notice does not indicate any imminent procurement action. Interested parties must submit a written request directly to the Small Business Office at Tinker Air Force Base to obtain the necessary Qualification Requirements documentation. Requests via fax or email are accepted, while telephone inquiries are not. Drawings and technical orders related to the manufacture of these parts can be requested as outlined in the source approval information booklet. This notice is strictly a sources sought announcement and not a solicitation or request for proposals, with no specified issue or response dates. The purpose is to identify qualified manufacturers capable of meeting the established standards for NSN 2840-01-317-8321NZ (shroud) and NSN 2840-01-490-1337OK (augmentor casing), ensuring readiness should a procurement opportunity arise in the future.
