F-16 Test Set, Pneumatic

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure two pneumatic test sets (NSN 4920-99-575-1342) used as support equipment for the F-16 aircraft. This is a firm fixed price acquisition restricted to qualified sources, with BAE Systems and Druck Limited currently identified as the two qualified contractors; firms desiring to become qualified must submit a formal qualification package meeting the Manufacturing Qualification Requirements outlined in the solicitation. Key contract requirements include compliance with ISO 9001:2000 quality standards, comprehensive counterfeit prevention planning per SAE 5553 standards, adherence to strict packaging and preservation requirements under multiple military standards (MIL-STD 2073-1, MIL-STD 129, and MIL-STD 147), and implementation of supply chain traceability documentation. The solicitation was posted on December 8, 2025, with quotations due by January 17, 2026, and contractors should note that the acquisition is restricted to U.S. contractors only. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the contractor's facility (origin), and the contractor must submit a Counterfeit Prevention Plan within thirty days of contract award.

This procurement carries no small business set-aside designation and is limited to the two previously identified qualified sources unless new sources complete qualification. The potential award value has not been explicitly stated in the solicitation documents, though the Manufacturing Qualification Requirements document indicates an estimated qualification cost of $4,650 with a 180-day qualification timeline. The requirement calls for delivery of two test sets by August 31, 2027, with provision for early and partial deliveries. The primary place of performance will be at the contractor's manufacturing facility, with delivery required to a government location by the specified deadline. Additional documentation requirements include engineering data submissions, circuit card assembly specifications for part number 6014833-001, and compliance with export control regulations governing technical data distribution, as the materials contain distribution restrictions requiring proper handling and marking per Arms Export Control Act guidelines.
