Synopsis (Presolicitation Notice FD2030-25-00859)

This is a presolicitation notice for a Buy/Spares acquisition of valve assemblies for F-16 aircraft. The solicitation (SPRTA1-26-R-0090) will be issued on January 22, 2026, with responses due by February 9, 2026. The requirement consists of 35 units total: a valve assembly (P/N 513000-2, NSN 4810011420717, Cage 96124) that functions as a normally open differential pressure regulator and solenoid-controlled shut-off valve, and a solenoid valve (P/N 04-1001-25, NSN 4810014641672, Cage 83533) that operates as a shutoff valve. The first item measures 8.09" x 7.55" x 8.06" and weighs 1.5 lbs, while the second measures 3.99" x 4.57" x 5.69" and weighs 1.2 lbs. Historical purchases show Essex Industries Inc. (Cage 83533) as the incumbent vendor, having supplied 14 units in January 2022 and 5 units in March 2023. All items must be delivered to destination SW3211 on or before November 27, 2025.

This acquisition is being pursued under FAR 6.302 authority as a limited source procurement, with two qualified sources identified: Transdigm Inc. (Cage 96124) and Essex Industries (Cage 83533). The Government does not own manufacturing data rights and encourages interested firms to contact the OEM. No qualification requirements exist, export controls do not apply, and IUID requirements will apply. This is not a set-aside and will not utilize commercial item policies. The Government will solicit and negotiate with limited sources based on market research. All proposals received within 45 days of synopsis publication will be considered. Award is anticipated 90 days after notice issuance, with price as a significant evaluation factor alongside past performance. Questions should be directed to buyer Micah Miller at micah.miller.5@us.af.mil.
