59 -- Microcircuit Hybrid

This contract pertains to the procurement of specialized microcircuit hybrid components used in military applications, specifically for the B-1B and B-1 aircraft, with Honeywell as the prime contractor. Due to the complexity and critical nature of these parts, only manufacturers who have fully completed all required testing as set forth by the original design company are eligible as approved sources. Qualification requirements are detailed in the OC-ALC Source Approval Information Booklet, which can be obtained through a formal written request to the Small Business Office at Tinker Air Force Base. This is a sources-sought notice rather than a request for proposal, indicating an effort to identify qualified sources rather than solicit bids. The notice provides specific national stock numbers (NSNs) and part numbers (PNs) for the microcircuit hybrids and emphasizes strict adherence to qualification criteria to ensure part integrity and reliability. Communication for qualification requirements must be submitted in writing, excluding telephone inquiries, ensuring a formal and traceable process. The contract does not specify a set-aside or response date and lacks detailed agency or location data.
