61 -- Power Supply SubAssy

This contract pertains to the qualification requirements for a power supply subassembly used in the B-1B aircraft, identified by NSN 6130-01-212-8503 and part number 13470-401-1. Due to the critical nature and complexity of this component, only original manufacturers who have fully completed all required testing set by the original design company are eligible to be approved sources. Prospective vendors seeking the qualification requirements must submit a formal written request directly to the Small Business Office at OC-ALC, Tinker AFB, Oklahoma, with no telephone requests accepted and no requests allowed through intermediaries. This solicitation is a sources-sought notice rather than a request for proposal, indicating an effort to identify capable manufacturers rather than to solicit bids at this stage. The prime contractor associated with this part is Boeing. No specific solicitation dates or federal contracting office details are provided, underscoring that this is an initial market research effort to verify available sources meeting stringent qualification criteria essential for the B-1B aircraft's operational integrity.
