F-16 Panel, Power Distribution NSN 6110-01-465-1082 PN 16E2504-875

The Department of the Air Force is seeking to procure a Power Distribution Panel (NSN 6110-01-465-1082, PN 16E2504-875) for the F-16 aircraft through a pre-solicitation notice posted on December 3, 2025. This procurement involves identifying qualified manufacturers capable of producing the power distribution panel component to support the F-16 fleet. Prospective contractors must meet comprehensive qualification requirements including facilities and testing capabilities verification, data package review, manufacturing process verification, and submission of a qualification article for testing and evaluation. The evaluation will assess manufacturers' ability to comply with ESA-approved engineering data and manufacturing specifications, with qualification costs estimated at $5,000 and a projected 180-day qualification timeline. The due date for responses to this pre-solicitation notice is December 4, 2025, providing interested parties with an extremely limited window to submit their information.

No set-aside designation has been applied to this procurement opportunity, meaning all eligible contractors regardless of business size classification may compete. The documents do not identify any specific incumbent contractor; however, the procurement is for spares classified under ERRC Code T, indicating the item is expendable and recoverable. While no explicit award value is provided in the pre-solicitation materials, the estimated qualification cost of $5,000 offers some indication of the scale of effort required. The Engineering Data List references Lockheed Martin Corporation as the original equipment manufacturer (CAGE code 81755), and foreign-owned, controlled, or influenced companies will require Foreign Disclosure Office approval to access the technical data package. Potential manufacturers should note that qualification waivers may be available for those with prior government or OEM experience supplying similar components.
