THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. REQUESTS FOR A SOLICITATION WILL NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE. This Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) is in support of Market Research being conducted by the United States Air Force to identify potential repair sources and to determine if this effort can be competitive or a Small Business Set-Aside. This is not a Request for Proposal (or solicitation) or an indication that a contractual commitment will exist for this requirement. The government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this market research. No funds are available to fund the information solicited. The 424TH Supply Chain Management Squadron located at Tinker Air Force Base is requesting information, pursuant to FAR PART 10, in support of Market Research to identify potential sources for the repair/overhaul/re-manufacture of the NSN(s) listed below. The Government will use this information to determine the best future acquisition strategy for this procurement, inclusive of the need to do an Industry Day and/or Presolicitation Conference. The government does not have the associated technical data to provide to potential sources. No qualification requirements exist. Consequently, potential sources for this effort typically would be companies who have a license or agreement with the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Sora Power Inc., Cage 13058 to complete the work described, including military specific modifications. The proposed North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is 334511, which has a corresponding Size Standard of 750 employees. The Government is interested in all businesses to include, Large Business, Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Businesses 8(a)s, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, Hubzone Businesses, and Women-Owned Small Businesses.

The specific requirement for this effort is found the table below. The item is a magnetron control. The rate of rise of the pulse applied to the magnetron cathode is very important for proper magnetron operation. The specified slope rate of rise is necessary to ensure that the magnetron oscillates in the proper mode for good spectral performance. Corner cutter Z2 is a pulse-shaping load on the magnetron voltage pulse. The required voltage rate of rise for this magnetron is between 30 and 40 kv per its near the -33 kv conduction point of the magnetron. Magnetron Control. The requirements for this item are detailed in Source Control Drawing 230043. No other drawings can be made available by the government for this item.
