The Air Force at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma is seeking sources to repair an electron tube used in the AN/APG-68 Dual Mode Transmitter on F-16 radar. The text is mostly an internal request form for the source approval process, listing the item details, points of contact and where to send the form. The text appears cut off at the end.
Watch out for
- Source approval needed for military electronics repair. Repair of this radar part appears to require Air Force source qualification, with engineering and repair data that a new company may not have.
- Notice is an internal form, not clear vendor instructions. The text reads as a request form for government staff, so it is unclear what a vendor should actually send or to whom.
Modify signature block office symbol as appropriate, sign, print, and submit this form along with all required attachments
- Key requirements are in attachments. The qualification requirements and repair data list are attachments that are not in the text.
Read from the notice text only.
