CONTROL ASSEMBLY, QU_End_Item_B-52_NSN_1680016106366_PN_520-14914-1

This notice is a sources-sought synopsis issued by the U.S. Air Force Sustainment Center at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, to conduct market research for the procurement of a CONTROL ASSEMBLY (NSN 1680-01-610-6366, Part Number 520-14914-1) for the B-52 aircraft. The estimated requirement is 118 units, with the North American Industry Classification System code 336413 and a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. This is not a solicitation or contract, and no funding is obligated at this stage; the purpose is solely to identify qualified vendors capable of new manufacture and full production of the item, including sourcing components, conducting nonrecurring engineering, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping in compliance with Department of Defense logistics standards. Vendors must submit a complete Source Approval Request (SAR) package via the DoD SAFE portal by June 23, 2026, and demonstrate ability to meet Manufacturing Qualification Requirements referenced as MQR-PSD-1, though no Engineering Data List is currently available. Required certifications include Unique Entity ID and CAGE code, and offerors must self-report small business status and socioeconomic designations such as Woman-Owned, Small Disadvantaged, 8(a), HUBZone, Veteran-Owned, or Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, which may trigger additional reporting under FAR Part 19. The place of performance and delivery is Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, and vendors must comply with implied DoD packaging and labeling standards such as MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-2073 without explicit detail, relying on qualification requirements contained in attachments not provided. No evaluation factors, contract clauses, pricing data, or award terms are present because this notice is strictly for market research and does not lead directly to a contract award.
