About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base is seeking a contractor to develop and deliver an F-16 MIL-STD-1553 Databus Upgrade solution through a Single Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The primary objective is to develop, integrate, accredit, and deliver 4 initial prototypes for a critical cybersecurity and databus upgrade project. The solicitation will be evaluated using a Best Value Tradeoff method, with technical factors significantly more important than price, and requires contractors to have a current and active Joint Certification Program (JCP) certification. Interested vendors must submit a controlled document access request through SAM to obtain the draft Statement of Objectives (SOO) and Statement of Requirements (SRD). The proposal response deadline is May 2, 2025, with an anticipated contract award estimated for September 2025.
The contract is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 334412 for Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing, with an estimated total contract value of $9,900,000. The contract will include multiple Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) covering prototype development, data rights, CDRLs, government travel, and provisions for additional prototypes. Foreign participation is not permitted, and contract performance will occur at the contractor's facility. The ordering period is projected to be 12 months from the award date, with an expected 18-24 month timeline for delivery of the initial four prototypes after receipt of order. The solicitation number is FA8232-25-R-B013, and the government has outlined a five-phase execution approach that allows offerors to propose their own schedules for accomplishing individual tasks and phases.
