SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS

1.  Purpose:

THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.  REQUEST 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 supply sources and to determine if this effort can be competitive or a Small Business Set-Aside.  This synopsis 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.

2.  Program Information:

The E-3 Aircraft Program Management, Airborne Warning and Control Wing System (AWACS) Division (AFLCMC/HBS), at Tinker Air Force Base is requesting information, pursuant to FAR PART 10, in support of Market Research to identify potential sources for the purchase of the actuators listed below.  The Government does not possess drawings/technical data to provide to potential sources.  Consequently, potential sources for this effort would be companies who have an agreement with the Original Part Manufacturer, Weber Aircraft Seat Company (CAGE:    ).

3.  Program Requirements:

This request seeks to identify qualified sources to provide mechanical actuation systems as detailed in Monogram Systems Service Bulletin No. 808737-25-715 dated 1 April 1996.  The mechanical actuators kits will be installed on Monogram System seats 808737-626 and 808737-627 manufactured by the Weber Aircraft Seat Company. 

The Government expects an initial purchase of four actuators as noted below:

               Part Number       Number of Actuators

               108SP125                           2

               108SP126                           2

Upon a successful form and fit evaluation, the Government has an estimated need for 35 each of the two actuators.
