66 -- Sensor

This contract pertains to the qualification requirements for a specific sensor identified by NSN 6615-01-248-6599 and part number 478400-02-02, with BAE Systems as the prime contractor. Due to the part's complexity and criticality, only manufacturers who have completed all required testing—either as the original design company or through government-recognized equivalent testing on similar parts—are eligible as approved sources. Interested parties seeking the qualification requirements must submit a written request directly to the Small Business Office at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma; no telephone inquiries are accepted, and requests must be made by the prospective requestor themselves. This announcement is classified as a sources-sought notice, not a request for proposal, indicating the government is identifying potential qualified manufacturers rather than soliciting bids at this time. The document does not specify an issue or response date, set-aside status, or performance location details, and lacks broader agency information typically associated with formal solicitations. The focus is strictly on establishing a pool of approved manufacturers capable of meeting stringent qualification standards for this high-priority sensor component.
