About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking to procure an F-16 Landing Gear Wheel Assembly (NSN 1630012982516, LE P/N 220A123-2) through a new Firm Fixed Price sole source contract. The Government does not possess the technical data and drawings rights for this component, requiring suppliers to obtain these materials directly from the original equipment manufacturer, Jay-Em Aerospace Corp. (cage code 23233). In accordance with FAR 5.207(c)(16)(ii), all responsible sources are invited to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations for consideration, despite the anticipated sole source award. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on March 12, 2026, with a response deadline of March 27, 2026. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in this notice, potential offerors should be prepared to demonstrate their capability to acquire or possess the necessary technical data and manufacturing expertise for this specialized aerospace component.
This procurement is not designated as a set-aside contract. Jay-Em Aerospace Corp. is identified as the anticipated sole source contractor and original equipment manufacturer holding the technical data rights for this wheel assembly. The notice does not disclose the anticipated contract value or award amount, nor does it specify production quantities or delivery timelines. Reverse-engineering of this part has been deemed neither plausible nor economically reasonable, which supports the Government's rationale for the sole source procurement approach. Interested parties should note that the ability to obtain technical data and drawings from Jay-Em Aerospace Corp. will be a critical qualification factor for any competing offeror.
