About this opportunity
The Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking sources for a comprehensive repair and maintenance contract for F-16 Data Entry Display (DED) components through a pre-solicitation notice posted September 23, 2025. The procurement covers major overhaul services for three specific DED assemblies including complete tear-down, component rework/replacement, and enhanced bonding processes that require replacing 128 exterior bonds with gold wire for improved conductivity and durability. Contractors must demonstrate capability to obtain or create necessary test equipment, develop Acceptance Test Procedures from government specifications, and possess legal access to required technical data and manuals for F-16 DED repair. The government will evaluate contractors based on their ability to perform troubleshooting, repair, and acceptance testing in a timely manner, along with their qualification to handle the specialized requirements. The formal solicitation FA8251-25-R-0014 will be issued on October 13, 2025, with responses due by October 9, 2025 for this pre-solicitation phase.
This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and will be conducted under full and open competition. The contract structure anticipates a 2-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) arrangement with Firm Fixed Price terms, covering an estimated 180 total units across three component types: 100 DED Group/Assembly units, 60 Electronic/Tray units, and 20 DED/Head units. The anticipated delivery schedule requires 50-75 units per year with 30-day delivery timelines after receipt of components, with performance periods of twelve months for individual orders. Work will be performed at the contractor's facility with deliveries to Hill Air Force Base, and contractors must maintain surge capability during crisis or national emergency situations. No incumbent contractors or specific budget ranges are identified in the pre-solicitation materials.

Description: This requirement is for all labor and supplies required for the services of the repair and maintenance of F-16 Data Entry Display (DED). A 2-year IDIQ contract is anticipated for major overhaul to include a complete tear-down into component parts and rework/replacement of the DED. The period of performance (PoP) for orders will be twelve months. The government does not have any special test equipment for repair of the F-16 DED. Therefore, the respondent would need to be able to demonstrate the ability to obtain or create those resources necessary to perform trouble shooting, repair, and acceptance testing of the F-16 DED in a timely fashion. Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP) must be derived from a Performance Test specification provided by the government. The ATP must then be approved by government engineering prior to source qualification. If the offeror is able to develop or obtain the data, manuals, and tech orders from another party, they must be able to demonstrate that they have access to such resources and the legal right to use said resources to repair assets for the government.
