Things to watch (7)
From the version posted Oct 19, 2026.
- Serious: Government-approved sources only. An offer from a source the Government hasn't approved is ruled out, so a business not already approved for this part can't win.
- Serious: Distributor letter due with the proposal. Resellers must have the approved source's authorization letter in hand when they send the offer.
- Serious: Quantity and unit of issue not stated. A quote is priced per unit, and the notice text gives no quantity or unit for the cylinder assembly.
Show all 7Show fewer
- Worth checking: FAA airworthiness tag required. Parts must come from suppliers able to issue an FAA Form 8130-3, which limits who can offer.
- Worth checking: Drawings not available. Bidders can't get drawings with this request for quote, so a new source can't build to a drawing.
- Worth checking: Critical Safety Item. The notice invokes the Critical Safety Item clause, which adds identification and control rules for parts whose failure could hurt people or lose equipment.
- Worth checking: New parts only. Offers of refurbished, remanufactured or repaired parts are ineligible.
