About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (DLA Aviation) is conducting market research for an F-16 Panel procurement located at Hill AFB, Utah. The solicitation seeks to identify potential small business sources capable of manufacturing F-16 Panel components with the specific National Stock Number 1680-01-661-7568 and Work Function Part Number 16F8455-871. The primary objectives include improving small business access to acquisition information, enhancing competitive opportunities, and determining if alternative sources can satisfy the agency's requirements. Interested parties must submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations within 15 days of the January 8, 2025 notice, with a point of contact being Michelle Mihu at michelle.mihu@us.af.mil. The government has indicated that while they are not planning to use commercial item acquisition policies, contractors may still identify commercial item capabilities for consideration.

The procurement is exclusively set aside for small businesses within the Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing sector (NAICS 336413). The requirement specifies procurement of 42 units with an estimated delivery schedule of 14 months after receipt of order to destination SW3210. While specific award value ranges are not disclosed, the opportunity is subject to Free Trade Agreements, potentially expanding competitive opportunities for qualified manufacturers. The associated Engineering Data List (EDL) suggests technical complexity, with detailed specifications for panel assembly, avionics components, and manufacturing process requirements. Lockheed Martin Corporation (CAGE: 81755) appears to be connected to the current design, though the pre-solicitation does not explicitly name them as an incumbent contractor. Potential offerors should carefully review the technical documentation and be prepared to meet stringent engineering and manufacturing specifications.
