48 -- Valve Check

This contract pertains to the procurement of a valve check component identified by NSN 4820-00-532-9909RV and part number 733031, with United Technologies as the prime contractor. Due to the complexity and critical nature of this valve check, only manufacturers that have successfully completed all the necessary testing—either as the original designer or on comparable products deemed similar by the government—are eligible to be approved sources. Qualification requirements are detailed in the OC-ALC Source Approval Information Booklet, and interested parties must submit written requests to the Small Business Office at Tinker AFB to obtain a copy of these requirements. Requests must be made in writing; no telephone inquiries will be accepted. This contract is a sources-sought notice rather than a solicitation for proposals, and there is no specified issue or response date. Drawings and technical data may be requested as outlined in the source approval booklet. The notice does not provide information about NAICS codes, set-asides, or specific place of performance, indicating a focus primarily on assessing approved sources capable of supplying this critical valve check component under strict qualification criteria.
