SOURCE QUALIFICATION STATEMENT

AMSC C: These parts require engineering source approval by the control activity to assure the integrity of the part. An alternative source must qualify according to the design control activity’s procedures as approved by the applicable government engineering activity, AFLCMC/WLSEAB (C-5 Galaxy Division)

SECTION A: ITEM IDENTIFICATION

See Appendix A for complete list of items covered by this Source Qualification Statement.

SECTION B: JUSTIFICATION FOR ESTABLISHING A QUALIFICATION

REQUIREMENT

The environmental seals and aerodynamic seals identified in section A are Critical Application Items. The environmental seals prevents air and pressure flow out of the C-5 aircraft allowing it to maintain pressure at altitude and the aerodynamic seals give the desired aerodynamic qualities to the wing and moving components. Historically, these seals have been difficult to keep in supply due to their low volume demand, size, their C- 5 specific nature, a succession of vendors who bid and then fail to perform or no bids are received. This has required lateral and/or AMARG support to fulfill requirements. This was not a sustainable strategy and will lead to critical shortage of parts. The current long term support strategy is to impose source technical qualification requirements to ensure capable sources are available and used. Failure to maintain sufficient supply of these seals will lead to loss of aircraft pressurization capability.

SECTION C: QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

Source approval information: Listed below are the minimum requirements necessary to become a qualified bidder on the items in Section A.

a. Potential bidder shall provide a summary of the company’s capabilities, including a detailed factory layout, a list of the machinery, fixtures, tooling and test and inspection equipment.

b. Potential bidder shall demonstrate the ability and have experience in manufacturing similar aircraft seals, which are currently in use on a large commercial or military transport aircraft and shall provide the following:

1. Contract Number

2. Procuring Agency

3. Contract Value

4. Number of assets shipped

c. Potential bidder shall provide a detailed quality plan implementing ISO 9001 (or equivalent).

d. Potential bidder shall provide a description of the planned process to manufacture seals, utilizing point cloud data for manufacturing plans, and inspections and shall provide for:

1. Traceability of batch/lot for material, heat treatment and all test/inspections.

2. Identification of material sources. Sources for raw materials must be documented for each type of material called for in the assembly.

3. Identification of sources for outsourced processes shall be documented.

e. Potential bidder shall perform more than 50% of the manufacturing workload in-house.

f. A sub-vendor qualification and quality assurance process to ensure conformance to specifications on work performed by subcontractors.

g. After qualification, the manufacturing plan processes, vendor sources, etc. shall not be changed without approval by the Government design activity, obtained through the contracting officer.

h. Once qualified, bidders shall be subject to first article testing if they have not previously manufactured this item within the last five years.

i. This qualification process shall be waived for the companies listed in Appendix B who are already qualified.

j. The Air Force may not qualify potential bidders who have had quality problems when delivering similar or identical items to the government. Potential bidders who have produced similar items for the commercial market shall also be considered for qualification and shall provide commercial brochures and at least five (5) references with phone numbers

SECTION D: ESTIMATE OF THE TEST AND EVALUATION COSTS

No testing will be required for qualification. Development of a Source Approval package estimated cost is $0.

SECTION E: GOVERNMENT CONTRACT

The Government Point of Contact for the technical requirements specified for qualification is AFLCMC/WLSEAB, 235 Byron Street Suite 19A, Robins AFB, GA 31098.
