Watch out for
Likely limited to one source. The Government plans to negotiate with only one or a limited number of sources, with Honeywell Aerospace Yeovil listed as the qualified source, so a new small business has a low chance of winning. Qualified Sources: Honeywell Aerospace Yeovil (CAGE U1605)
No manufacturing data. The Government does not own the data needed to make this item, so you would have to get it from the original manufacturer. The Government does not own the data or the rights to the data needed to manufacture this item.
