59 -- Diplexer

This contract pertains to the qualification requirements for manufacturing highly complex and critical diplexer parts, as detailed in the OC-ALC Source Approval Information Booklet. Only manufacturers who have successfully completed all the necessary testing conducted by the original design company or have demonstrated equivalent testing on similarly complex and critical items as determined by the government are eligible to be approved sources. Interested parties must submit a written request to obtain a copy of the qualification requirements, as oral or telephone inquiries are not accepted. The contract is not a solicitation for proposals, and no specific issue or response dates are applicable. The contract references four specific diplexer parts, all prime contracted through Raytheon, each identified by their National Stock Numbers (NSNs) and part numbers (PNs). These diplexers are considered critical components, and the sourcing is tightly controlled to ensure only qualified manufacturers produce them. The contract type is a sources-sought notice, indicating a search for potential qualified manufacturers rather than a direct procurement opportunity. Additional details and requests must be directed to the Small Business Office at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma.
