The level of security clearance and amount of foreign participation in this requirement has not been determined. Contractors/Institutions responding to this market research are placed on notice that participation in this survey may not ensure participation in future solicitations or contract awards. The government will not reimburse participants for any expenses associated with their participation in this survey. <h4 style="MARGIN-LEFT: 24pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 13.7pt; punctuation-wrap: simple; mso-line-break-override: restrictions; mso-line-height-rule: exactly"> PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the production data/repair data, expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements for the production/repair of Adapter, Drain - Fuel Dump NSN: 4730-01-533-5427 for USAF personnel. This is a build to print acquisition. Our acquisition strategy is a 4-year contract (basic plus three option years) and will continue through FY22, the requirement will also require a first article, first article test plan, and first article test report. The projected quantities will be a basic quantity of 4 with three option perionds of 2 ea. THIS DRAIN TOOL HAS A 3.5" INTERNAL DIAMETER RUBBER HOSE, 4" IN LENGTH, AT ONE END TO INTERFACE WITH THE DUMP DRAIN MAST. THE RUBBER HOSE HAS ENOUGH FLEXIBILITY TO EXPAND SLIGHTLY WHEN INSTALLED AND YET PROVIDE A SNUG AND LEAK TIGHT CONNECTION WITH THE 3.664" OUTER DIAMETER BEAD OF THE DRAIN MAST. AT THE OTHER END, THE DRAIN TOOL IS REDUCED BY A METAL REDUCER TO THE 1.25" OUTER DIAMETER BEAD REQUIRED TO INTERFACE WITH THE FUEL AIR DRAIN UNIT'S HOSE. TETHERED T-BOLT HOSE CLAMPS ARE PROVIDED FOR SECURING THE DRAIN TOOL TO THE DRAIN MAST AND FOR ATTACHING THE FUEL AIR DRAIN UNIT'S HOSE. THE 17G460035-501 OVERCOMES THE PROBLEMS WITH THE 17G460035-1 BY INCREASING THE LENGTH OF THE RUBBER HOSE ON THE ADAPTER. THE CLAMPS WILL ALSO BE REPLACED WITH SOME THAT PROVIDE A GREATER SQUEEZING FORCE. THE NEW DRAIN ADAPTER WILL ALSO HAVE A "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT" STREAMER ATTACHED. The Adapter, Drain - Fuel Dump should be fabricated IAW with applicable drawings. A drawing package is available will be included at the time of solicitation. Multiple Sources Sought Synopsis are being posted to FBO for other NSNs for C-17 Support Equipment. Results from these sources sought synopsis may be used to combine similar requirements in an attempt to leverage economy of scale.
