This pre-solicitation notice seeks sources to modify existing Standard Wing Weapon Pylons and qualify Pylon Integrated Dispenser System Universals to include flare capability for the F-16 aircraft. The Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center requires fully qualified equipment that can be delivered within 12 months of award. Offerors must have the ability to modify up to 350 government furnished pylons without development support or data rights. The proposed NAICS code is 334511 and interested parties should identify their small business status and teaming arrangements by June 1st to help determine the acquisition strategy for this requirement.

There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. The main NAICS code is 334511 with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The original equipment manufacturer, Terma, owns all data rights to the existing pylons and dispensers. The government seeks sources that can qualify the modified equipment within 12 months of award but does not provide a budget range. Questions regarding this pre-solicitation notice are due to the contracting contacts by June 1st, with proposals for this opportunity due July 2nd, 2018.
