The NAWCAD Lakehurst Prototype Manufacturing, and Test Department (PMTD) has a requirement for Wire Rope, 1-7/16” diameter, P/N: A92791-38-3000 in support of the Aircraft Launch and Recovery program.

This is a Critical Safety Item (CSI), which is part of recovery equipment for an aircraft or aviation weapons system which are used by the United States Navy to arrest aircraft. The Navy uses the Source Approval Request (SAR) process to evaluate a manufacturer’s capabilities in order for the vendor to become an approved sources of supply for Critical Application Items and CSIs. The purpose of a SAR package is to demonstrate evidence of the manufacturer’s ability to produce an item with acceptable quality, traceability, and subvendor control.
