F-15 Landing Gear Drag Link NSN 1620-00-365-4004

The USAF has a current requirement for 263 units of NSN: 1620-00-365-4004 (Landing Gear Drag Link) for the F-15 weapon system. 
This requirement is set aside for certified small business contractors only.  Due to the rigid safety requirements pertaining to any landing gear systems, only pre-approved sources that have been qualified by our engineering office may be eligible for award of this contract. 
If your company would like to be considered for future contracts manufacturing the same NSN in the future, please ship a Source Approval Request (SAR) package to the primary point of contact.  The POC will then turn the SAR package over to the engineering department to be evaluated.  This process can take up to 90 days for a vendor/contractor to become an approved source.  
Because of the urgent need to support the warfighter for this current requirement, no new contractors will be approved soon enough to meet our timeline to award this contract.  Therefore, only currently approved sources that provide a proposal will be evaluated in response to this solicitation. 

All approved vendors that are interested in providing a proposal must do so NLT 28 March 2017 by 4PM MST. 
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the POC.
