29 -- Control Valve

This contract concerns the qualification requirements for the supply of a control valve (NSN: 2915-00-349-2159RK, PN: 10-2430) originally designed by Boeing Company. Due to the part's complexity and criticality, only manufacturers that have either completed all required testing by the original design company or successfully passed government-approved tests on similar items can be considered as approved sources. The contract emphasizes that qualification details are outlined in the OC-ALC Source Approval Information Booklet, and requests for a copy must be submitted in writing directly to the Small Business Office at Tinker Air Force Base; telephone requests are not accepted. This is a sources-sought notice rather than a formal request for proposal, with no specified issue or response dates. The intent is to identify qualified manufacturers capable of meeting the certification criteria for this highly specialized control valve, underscoring stringent qualification and testing standards to ensure reliability and performance. No set-aside information or NAICS codes are provided, and the point of contact details are limited to written correspondence through the designated office.
