61 -- Cable Assembly

The Air Force has issued a sources sought notice under FAR 9.2 and Public Law 98.525 to establish Qualification Requirements for specific cable assembly items. Interested companies must undergo a source approval process demonstrating they have previously manufactured the exact items specified by the government, as approval based on similarity will not be accepted. This notice is strictly for qualification purposes and does not indicate any immediate procurement activity nor the availability of drawings or specifications, which are generally not publicly releasable. Requests for further information must be submitted in writing, fax, or email to the designated Small Business Office at Tinker AFB, with no telephone inquiries accepted. The items covered by this notice include two specific cable assemblies, identified by NSNs 6150-01-490-4098 and 6150-01-490-4102, both manufactured by Unison Industries. Companies wishing to be considered as qualified sources must have a proven track record of manufacturing these exact parts. This effort seeks to identify capable suppliers in advance, ensuring the Air Force maintains a qualified supply base for these cable assemblies, although no current purchase plans are implied.
