59 -- Diplexers

This contract concerns the qualification requirements for diplexers identified by specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs) and part numbers associated with the prime manufacturer Victor Microwave. Due to the complexity and criticality of these parts, only manufacturers who have completed all required testing either through the original design company or through government-recognized equivalent testing for similarly critical components will be considered approved sources. Written requests for the qualification requirements documentation must be directed to the Small Business Office at Tinker Air Force Base via mail, fax, or email; telephone inquiries or indirect requests will not be accepted. This is a sources-sought notice rather than a request for proposal, indicating a preliminary step to identify capable manufacturers meeting stringent qualification standards. The solicitation does not set aside the contract for any specific category or specify a NAICS code, and no detailed place of performance or agency information is provided. The emphasis is on ensuring only qualified manufacturers with verified testing credentials are eligible, underscoring the importance of reliability and conformity in the supply of these diplexers.
