Solicitation / RFP / RFQ

This document, a Revision 1 to RQR-848, establishes the minimum technical requirements for potential sources seeking Engineering Support Activity (ESA) source approval to repair or remanufacture commodity items for the Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC). The goal is to meet Operational Safety, Suitability, and Effectiveness (OSS&E) requirements.

• Potential sources must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package.

• SAR packages can be submitted physically, electronically, or as a combination.

• Submissions must be in English.

• Financial data must be redacted from all submitted documents.

• Three categories of SAR submissions are accepted: Category I (Actual Item Repair), Category II (Similar Item Repair), and Category III (New Repair/Remanufacture).

• Specific elements required for each SAR category are detailed in Section 6 and Table 1.

• Significant industrial processes require specific approvals/certifications (Appendix D).

• The document outlines the process for obtaining ESA source approval, which is a prerequisite for potential contract awards.

• It references FAR 9.200 for qualification requirements.

• SAR packages are submitted to the AFSC Small Business Office (SBO).

• The ESA or SAR evaluation technician will review the package.

• Potential sources are given 5 working days to address any issues or missing data.

• If the package meets requirements, the ESA will approve the source, and the SBO will notify the potential source. If under active solicitation, the PCO will be notified.

• If the package does not meet requirements, reasons for disapproval will be documented, and the source may correct and resubmit.

• Not explicitly detailed in the provided sections, but SAR categories suggest different levels of experience are required.

• Loss of qualification approval is possible under conditions specified in FAR Part 9.207.
