The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is procuring nine units of an F-16 Panel, Control, Elect (NSN 1680-01-661-7568 WF), an avionics power control panel manufactured by Lockheed Martin with part number 81755 16F8455-871. Key contract requirements include compliance with comprehensive preservation, packaging, and marking standards (MIL-STD-2073-1, MIL-STD-129, and ASTM D3951), development of a Counterfeit Prevention Plan per aerospace standard AS5553, and submission of a First Article Test Report. The contractor must also satisfy unique item identification requirements, adhere to various military standards for testing, and implement export control protocols in handling technical data. Evaluation will be primarily cost-based, with price as the most important factor, and offered prices must remain firm for 120 days. The proposal submission deadline is February 14, 2026, with first article delivery required within 180 calendar days and production unit deliveries within 14 months of contract award.

This is a 100% small business set-aside, restricting competition to eligible small businesses within the NAICS 336413 category (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The solicitation is restricted to U.S. contractors only and permits less than truckload shipments with early and partial deliveries allowed. The total contract value is not explicitly stated in the available documents, though procurement involves nine units with first article testing followed by production. Delivery is expected to Hill Air Force Base, Utah (Non-Accountable Bay Transportation Officer), with Test/Inspection Reports to be submitted concurrently with the first article delivery and a copy transmitted electronically to the designated government contact.
