From the version posted Oct 21, 2026.
- Serious: Approved sources only. A business that is not a Government-approved source is ineligible, unless the buy is for P-8/P-3 platform commercial items sold new from the original maker with an FAA Form 8130-3 airworthiness tag.
- Serious: Distributor letter required. A reseller needs a letter on the approved source's letterhead or the offer is not accepted.
- Worth checking: New manufacture only. Refurbished or repaired parts make an offer ineligible.
