Many DLA supported programs such as the Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment (ALRE) program, encounter supply limitations and bottlenecks due to lack of manufacturing or vendor capabilities. Coherent Technical Solutions Inc. (CTSi) is well prepared to support DLA as a Small Business Manufacturer (SBM) and will provide a complete Source Approval Request (SAR) package and manufacturing development plan for manufacturing key components requested by DLA and the ALRE program. CTSi will fabricate any First Articles required for SAR package approval by following the plans outlined in our Manufacturing Plan. In addition to providing a source of supply for critical chain components, CTSi will use this as an opportunity to grow and support the ever growing market for critical components. CTSi already has the facility, expertise, and equipment to be a SBM base to address obsolescence and develop a qualified source of supply to improve DLA product availability. We will provide competition for reduced lead time and cost, and address lifecycle performance issues.
