About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base is seeking technical support services to upgrade F-16 aircraft GPS systems by replacing existing Global Positioning System Embedded Module (GEM) II receiver cards with GEM VII-2 receiver cards in the F-16 Embedded Global Positioning Satellite Inertial Navigation System (EGI) to enable anti-spoofing functions. This combined synopsis/solicitation requires the contractor to provide fielding support for 1-200 GEM VII-2 receiver card upgrades, along with spares, missed upgrades, travel and shipment services, and data deliverables. The procurement will be conducted as a sole-source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1 authority, with Honeywell Aerospace identified as the anticipated source, though all responsible sources may submit capability statements for evaluation. The government plans to award a 5-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quality (IDIQ) contract to satisfy these requirements. Responses to this solicitation are due by August 2, 2025.

This opportunity has no set-aside designation and is structured as a sole-source procurement, with Honeywell Aerospace of Clearwater, Florida specifically identified as the anticipated contractor due to the specialized nature of the services required. The contract includes multiple contract line items (CLINs) covering quantities ranging from 1-200 units for the primary upgrade work and 1-20 units for spares, with additional provisions for missed upgrades and travel/shipment costs. The work will require travel to seven different locations and support for shipping EGI units to contractor repair facilities for upgrades. Performance will occur at multiple locations with foreign contractor participation specifically prohibited at the prime contractor level. The 5-year IDIQ structure suggests this will be an ongoing effort to support the F-16 fleet's GPS modernization requirements, though specific contract values are not disclosed in the solicitation.
