59 -- Circuit Card Assembly

This contract pertains to the qualification requirements for circuit card assemblies used in the B-1B application, specifically involving National Stock Numbers (NSNs) 5998-01-417-1862EK, 5998-01-417-1865EK, and 5998-01-464-4238EK, with corresponding part numbers and managed by the prime contractor General Dynamics. Due to the complexity and critical nature of the parts, approval is limited strictly to manufacturers who have successfully completed all requisite testing mandated by the original design company. Interested parties must submit a formal written request to obtain the Qualification Requirements documentation from the Small Business Office at Tinker AFB; requests via telephone are not accepted, and only direct requests are considered valid. This is a sources-sought notice rather than a request for proposal, indicating a preliminary market research phase to identify qualified manufacturers. No issue or response dates apply to this notice. The contract emphasizes stringent source approval criteria as detailed in the OC-ALC Source Approval Information Booklet to ensure that only vetted, capable manufacturers are authorized to supply these circuit card assemblies for critical defense applications.
