Things to watch (5)
From the version posted Oct 23, 2026.
- Serious: New unused stock only from approved sources. If you are not an approved source for new unused stock, your offer is rejected; the text does not name the approved sources, so ask the buyer.
- Serious: Distributor letter due with the proposal. A distributor needs the approved source's authorized distributor letter on the source's letterhead, sent to the buyer by email with the proposal.
- Serious: FAA-certified parts with airworthy tag for other stock. Stock that is not new unused from the OEM can come only from suppliers of FAA-certified parts with a Form 8130-3 tag, which limits who can quote.

- Worth checking: Critical application item. The item is marked as a critical application item (CAI), so expect strict part and paperwork rules.
- Minor: Buy American certificate listed. The clauses include a Buy American certificate, so check where your product would be made before you quote.
