The 848th Supply Chain Management Group (SCMG) issued a Justification for Qualification Requirements (JQR) for manufacturing critical Air Force Sustainment Center commodity items. This JQR, applicable to 848 SCMG-managed items, outlines pre-award manufacturing qualification requirements for complex and critical components, including Critical Application Items (CAIs) and Critical Safety Items (CSIs), emphasizing controlled manufacturing processes, specialized equipment, and unique capabilities. The justification aims to mitigate supply chain, technical, and programmatic risks by evaluating potential sources' capabilities and quality assurance systems before solicitation. The estimated cost for an offeror's qualification package is up to $5,000, with government evaluation potentially costing $2,500. Qualification requirements must be revalidated every seven years as per FAR 9.202(f).
The 848th Supply Chain Management Group (SCMG) Manufacturing Qualification Requirement (MQR) Master Item List (MIL) provides a comprehensive inventory of aircraft components and related items. The document details various parts, including fuzes, converters, computers, control indicators, elevon assemblies, engine inlet assemblies, wing assemblies, fins, fuel pumps, missile launch adapters, handling units, nitrogen charge adapters, storage racks, leading edges, cowlings, exhaust pipes, structural panels, access doors, fairings, fuel tanks, flaps, ailerons, elevators, fuel cells, tips, structural supports, spoilers, radomes, duct assemblies, and lateral control differential. These items are primarily located at Tinker AFB, OK, and are categorized under "Structures" or "Instruments." Many entries specify the applicable aircraft models (e.g., C135, AGM086, B052, KC135R, RC135S, E003B, TF0033103, B052H) and often refer to MMAC for additional information. The list serves as a critical reference for supply chain management and manufacturing qualification within the federal government's defense sector.

Each item is identified by FSC/NIIN/MMAC, nomenclature, installation, end item category, and applicable MDS/TMS/NHA information, often referencing MMAC for details. The document appears to be a catalog of parts requiring manufacturing qualification for supply chain management within the federal government.
This document outlines the 848th Supply Chain Management Group's (SCMG) Manufacturing Qualification Requirements (MQR) for Critical Safety Items (CSI) and Critical Application Items (CAI) within the Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC). It aligns with Air Force Material Command Instruction (AFMCI) 23-113 and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 9.2, focusing solely on manufacturing rather than repair. The MQR guides potential suppliers through the source approval request (SAR) process, detailing responsibilities, core SAR processes, and categories (Actual Item, Similar Item, New Manufacturer, Alternate Item). It references key attachments from AFMCI 23-113, such as the SAR Evaluation and Contents Checklists. The document also provides instructions for SAR package submissions (physical or electronic), cautions on the loss of qualification approval, and outlines procedures for requesting government-furnished technical data. Optional templates for cover letters, sub-tier supplier information, and similarity comparisons are included, along with crucial contact information for relevant Air Force and Defense Logistics Agency offices.
