About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure F-16 fuel cells through a competitive solicitation process. The acquisition is primarily restricted to Meggitt (CAGE 56221), though other contractors may submit qualification packages to become approved sources. Key contract requirements include first article testing, with an estimated evaluation cost of $10,000, and comprehensive supply chain traceability documentation. Proposals must be submitted by March 14, 2025 at 11:59 PM, with the evaluation primarily based on price, excluding transportation costs. Contractors must provide unique identification (IUID) marking and are allowed early and partial deliveries at no increased cost.
The solicitation is not set aside for any specific business category and will be a firm-fixed price contract with a DO-A1 priority rating. The contract involves the procurement of 33 fuel cell units, with delivery dates staggered from November 2025 through May 2026. Performance will take place within the United States, specifically involving technical documentation and manufacturing processes related to aircraft fuel cells. The manufacturing qualification process is extensive, estimated to take up to 730 days, and requires potential offerors to demonstrate significant manufacturing capabilities. The total qualification process could involve up to $1.25 million in associated testing and fixture costs, highlighting the technical complexity of the fuel cell production.
