Examples of parts include: floorboards, upholstery/soundproofing panels, to include ECS ducts; external composite panels, cockpit floor and cabin panels, doors and sliding windows, and fuel cell front panels. Some parts may require sheet metal work in addition to composite work. To assist MRR in finding suitable vendors to do composite work, ALC will host an Industry Day, October 23, 2024.

In addition to pricing information, vendors are requested to provide expected lead time in their ROMs, as well as any anticipated NRE charges and any price break information. Samples of parts will be available for companies during the Industry Day. Vendors shall demonstrate similar work and must have the ability to reverse engineer from sample parts. In addition, vendors must be able to provide fully dimensional drawings of each part that is reverse engineered. No drawings or other technical information will be provided.
