59 -- Circuit Card Assy

The Air Force has issued a sources-sought notice to establish Qualification Requirements for a specific item, identified as a Circuit Card Assembly with the National Stock Number 5998-01-022-9201 and Part Number 686280-4, originally manufactured by Litton Systems. Companies interested in supplying this item must complete a source approval process demonstrating that they have previously manufactured the exact item, as approvals based on similarity to other items will not be accepted. This notice does not indicate any immediate procurement plans nor does it imply the availability of detailed drawings or specifications, which are generally not releasable to the public. Requests for additional information must be submitted in writing or by fax directly to the Small Business Office at Tinker Air Force Base; telephone inquiries are not accepted. This action aligns with regulatory guidelines under FAR 9.2 and Public Law 98.525 and serves as an official qualification prerequisite rather than a solicitation for purchase. The Air Force has provided a point of contact and instructions for formal communication but does not guarantee future contract awards or releases of design data.
