Alternate Manufacturer Qualification for Coupling Clamp

Manufacturers are invited to qualify as alternate sources for the NSN-listed coupling clamp by submitting technical data or undergoing reverse engineering to demonstrate compatibility and compliance with government specifications. The opportunity is open under a subcontract classification with a submission deadline of July 21, 2026, and is managed by the Department of Defense’s ASC SUPPLIER OPER AE AND AF DIV. The work is performance-based at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, with a NAICS code of 332996 indicating it pertains to other fabricated metal product manufacturing. Interested parties must provide detailed technical documentation for government review to prove their ability to reproduce the coupling clamp to required standards without relying on the original manufacturer’s proprietary processes. All submissions will be evaluated for technical merit, quality assurance capabilities, and adherence to military specifications to ensure seamless integration into existing supply chains.
