Questions related to SPRHA2‐23‐R‐0297
6/9/23
Q: Unable to obtain a quote for any of the PN RFE23050499‐xxx conduit assemblies, however the parts to make them are available. Can the parts be purchased and assembled? Assuming no special tooling is required in the assembly of these items or if there is, the cost is less than $150.
A: If able to assemble RFE23050499‐XXX without the 23035592 drawing, yes. Contractors can get the parts from Sunbank, since Sunbank was willing to quote the parts, and then do the assembly themselves if they are able to. Contractors could also contact Sunbank about providing the P.S. 04M00018 drawing along with the purchased parts. This is the Sunbank drawing that is equivalent to 23035592. It could be that P.S. 04M00018 is an instruction page that comes with purchase of the parts automatically. The USG has no way of knowing what is on the drawing, or how necessary it is, since neither Lockheed or
Sunbank would provide it to us.
