Procurement History:
[X] A review of procurement history for potential manufacturing sources other than those listed above Section 5 above yielded the following results (If none, so state): Although AMPL reflects two approved sources for this item, historical procurement data from the past five-plus years demonstrates that ACR Electronics, Inc. (18560) is the sole active manufacturing supplier. FLIS data indicates this by designating ACR Electronics, Inc. as Primary Design Control Reference with a 3/2 RNCC/RNVC. Conversely, Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (78286) is assigned a 5/2 RNCC/RNVC, denoting a Secondary Definitive Reference.
