The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking qualified sources to repair RF Controller units (Part Number 772R025G01, NSN 5989-01-203-1936) used in F-16 C/D aircraft equipped with AN/APG-68 Radar Dual Mode Transmitters. Potential repair sources must meet comprehensive qualification requirements, including notification of intent to qualify, certification of adequate repair, inspection, testing, packaging, and storage facilities, and verification of a complete technical data package from Northrop Grumman. Offerors must demonstrate repair process compliance with government requirements and Unique Identification standards, submit quality and environmental evaluation data for approval, develop and execute a detailed qualification test plan at their own expense with at least 30 days' advance government notice, and provide a pre-contract award qualification article for form, fit, and function evaluation. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on January 20, 2026, with a due date of December 31, 2027, allowing prospective bidders ample time to prepare their qualification submissions and responses.

This opportunity is not designated as a set-aside and does not identify any current incumbents or specific award value or budget range in the available documentation. The estimated qualification cost for prospective offerors is $5,000, with an estimated qualification completion timeframe of 270 days. The government will notify offerors of qualification article test results within 90 days of submission, and while contract award will not be delayed to accommodate qualification completion, offerors cannot be denied contract consideration if they demonstrate the ability to meet all qualification standards before the award date. Source Qualification Waiver Criteria are available for sources with prior government supply history, prior assembly qualifications, earlier dash number experience, similar item production capability, or successor entity status with equivalent facilities and personnel, potentially reducing the burden of full qualification for eligible applicants.
