Description
The US Air Force is conducting market research to determine potential sources for manufacturing the KC-135 Electronic Component Assembly. The Government is interested in identifying responsible sources that have the skills, experience, and ability to obtain access to the proprietary data required to manufacture this item. The proposed NAICS Code is 336413, and the Government is seeking responses from all small or large business concerns.
Some key points to consider:
• The Government does not own the rights to the data for the KC-135 Electronic Component Assembly.
• Suppliers will need to have or obtain the technical data and drawings from the original equipment manufacturer, Hydro-Aire Inc.
• Attempts to reverse-engineer this part have been deemed not plausible or economically reasonable.
• The Government anticipates issuing a new Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) sole source contract to Hydro-Aire Inc.
