The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is soliciting offers under RFP SPRHA1-27-R-A942 for eight F-16 brake valve assemblies (NSN 1630-01-087-0430, P/N 6002051-2 / 16VL014004-3), with offers due December 4, 2026. The Set Aside line reads No Set-Aside Used, but offerors must first clear a manufacturing source qualification, beginning with a Source Approval Request package under AFMCI 23.113 and FAR 9.2.

Place of performance is the United States, and the Buy American Act applies, with items manufactured in the United States. The contract is firm fixed-price with a 120-day price firm period. Pricing is requested in five quantity ranges (1-2, 3-4, 5-10, 11-15, and 16+ EA) to accommodate fluctuating Foreign Military Sales requirements, and award is based on total quantities needed at award.

Delivery terms differ by bid. Bid A requires first article approval, with the first article delivered within 365 calendar days and production articles within 150 calendar days. Bid B allows first article waiver, with overall delivery by February 29, 2028.

Qualification requirements are substantial. The qualification test plan requires prior approval from 417 SCMS/GUEA, and a complete test report is due before award. The government may witness testing on-site with at least 30 days' notice. A pre-award qualification article must pass form, fit, and function testing, with pass/fail notification within 120 days of submission. The estimated qualification testing and evaluation cost is $1,803,000.00, with an estimated completion timeframe of 365 days. Offerors bear the cost of providing evaluation results. Source Qualification Waivers QWC1 and QWC2 are available under stated conditions, though a post-award first article exhibit may still be required.

Quality and compliance requirements include AS9100, IUID marking per MIL-STD-130 and DFARS 211.274, evidence of Critical Safety Items management, CMMC Level 1 certification, and ten-year retention of supply chain traceability documentation. Release of technical data to foreign-owned, controlled, or influenced entities requires Foreign Disclosure Office approval. Payment is by electronic funds transfer through Wide Area Workflow (WAWF). Evaluation criteria are not stated in the source.
