Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is soliciting quotations for two each of F-16 circuit card assemblies under NSN 5998-01-172-1509WF, with quotations due November 27, 2026. The acquisition is restricted to ElbitAmerica (CAGE 0WEC9) as the qualified source, and other firms must submit a Manufacturing Qualification Requirement package to become qualified sources. No set-aside is used.

Delivery is required by April 30, 2028 to DTW004, the Foreign Military Sales shipment destination. The item is classified as FMS for Taiwan under Case TW-D-KDW, and inspection and acceptance occur at origin. The contract is firm fixed price with range pricing across five quantity tiers (1-2, 3-4, 5-10, 11-15, and 16+ each). The Government will award based on total quantities needed at time of award, with price as the sole evaluation factor.

The Manufacturing Qualification Requirements, effective October 16, 2026, require offerors to complete ten qualification steps before award. These include a qualification test plan with 180 days' advance notice of testing, a pre-award qualification article, estimated qualification costs of $500,000.00, and an estimated 365 days to complete qualification. Offerors receive pass/fail notice on the qualification article within 120 days of submission. Five Source Qualification Waiver Criteria (QWC1 through QWC5) may support waivers, though post-award first article exhibits may still be required.

Compliance requirements include ISO 9001:2000, CMMC Level 1, MIL-STD-130 item marking, and MIL-STD-2073-1E and MIL-STD-129R packaging and marking. A Counterfeit Prevention Plan (CDRL A001) is due 30 calendar days after award, carrying no separate price. The engineering data list imposes a foreign disclosure restriction requiring Foreign Disclosure Office approval for release to foreign-owned, controlled, or influenced companies, and the CDRL carries Distribution Statement D with export control warnings.
