This item performs a critical function on the aircraft and special equipment is required for its manufacture and testing. Special care and attention is required but not limited to finish, processing, assembly, performance, and part interchangeability of this item.
2.
The prospective bidder’s ability to interpret engineering drawings and specifications and the execution of the qualification requirements specified herein are necessary to verify the structural and functional integrity and/or form, fit, and function of the item being procured. 3.
Failure to procure this item from a fully qualified source could result in failure of the part, degradation of aircraft mission capability, or loss of aircraft and crew. 4.
Completion of the specified pre-contract award qualification requirements will assure the government that the offeror is technically capable of producing the item in compliance with the applicable technical specifications and associated drawings and within the schedule and economic constraints of our contracts. To protect the interests of the Air Force, only suppliers in the United States will be considered, with the exception of special permissions.

There are sufficient technical and schedule risks, which can only be minimized by a completion of the requirements prior to contract award. Section C: Qualification Requirements That Must be Satisfied to Become a Qualified Source and Qualification Waiver Requirements.
