F-16 Transfer Unit

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure F-16 Transfer Units, specifically a data support system for digital terrain systems, digital moving maps, and solid state video recording for F-16 Block 40s and 50s. The acquisition is exclusively restricted to GE Aviation (CAGE 35351) as the qualified source, with the potential for award to vendors using parts manufactured by this specific source. The solicitation (SPRHA4-25-R-0296) requires vendors to submit proposals by February 28, 2025, with a requirement to hold pricing firm for 120 days. Key contract requirements include submission of a Counterfeit Prevention Plan, compliance with ISO 9001-2015 quality standards, and providing supply chain traceability documentation. Additional specifications mandate IUID marking compliance, origin inspection, and acceptance with transportation terms set as FOB Origin.

The contract calls for 8 transfer units with a 14-month delivery requirement after order receipt, with both early and partial deliveries accepted at no additional cost. The place of performance is within the United States, and the solicitation includes a DO-A1 priority rating. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the contract involves specialized aviation electronics manufacturing within the Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing (NAICS 334310) and Video Recording and Reproducing Equipment (PSC 5836) categories. The procurement includes stringent packaging and preservation requirements, adherence to military standards such as MIL-STD-2073-1 for packaging and MIL-STD-129 for marking, and specialized handling instructions for electrostatic and potentially hazardous materials. Contractors must use WebSDR for reporting discrepancies and access SPIRES for special packaging instructions, demonstrating the complex technical nature of this federal contract opportunity.
