59 -- Microcircuit Hybrid

This contract pertains to the sourcing of microcircuit hybrid components, specifically those designated with NSNs 5962-01-502-7182NT and 5962-01-502-7183NT, with part numbers 8530339-1 and 8530338-1 respectively. The prime contractor associated with these items is Honeywell. Due to the complexity and critical nature of these components, qualification requirements are stringent, as detailed in the OC-ALC Source Approval Information Booklet. Only manufacturers who have successfully completed all necessary testing either under the original design company's standards or those deemed equivalent by the government are eligible to be approved sources. Requests for copies of the qualification requirements must be made in writing directly to the Small Business Office at OC-ALC/BC, with no telephone requests accepted. This solicitation is not a request for proposal, and no specific issue or response dates are applicable. The contract type is identified as a sources-sought notice, which seeks information regarding potential manufacturers who meet the established qualification criteria, but it does not specify set-asides or an established NAICS code. The notice underscores the criticality of meeting rigorous testing standards due to the importance of these microcircuit hybrids in intended applications.
