About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure aircraft skins for F-16 aircraft through an indefinite quantity contract under NSN 1560-014146734. The part is manufactured under part number 16W1104-44 by several approved manufacturers including B-E Aerospace Inc (dba Alson), Lockheed Martin Corporation, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies Inc, and Lanic Aerospace LLC. This procurement requires contractors to be certified by DOD to access unclassified data per DOD 5220.22M, with certification obtained by submitting DD Form 2345 to the Defense Logistics Information Services. The solicitation will include a reverse auction component using the ProcureX system, and offerors are encouraged to self-register at DLA.PROCUREXINC.COM to participate. The solicitation will be available through the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) on the issue date, with the current due date set for October 27, 2025.
This procurement is structured as an unrestricted competition with no set-aside designations, establishing a five-year base period contract with zero option periods. The estimated annual quantity is 40 units, with delivery required 742 days after the date of each order. Multiple manufacturers are already qualified to produce this component, including established defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin Corporation (CAGE 81755) and B-E Aerospace Inc (CAGE 56127), along with smaller specialized firms like Lanic Aerospace LLC (CAGE 7NPM2) and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies Inc (CAGE 1XKR3).
