Notice of Intent to Solicit from a Limited Number of Sources

The 122d Fighter Wing Contracting Office in Fort Wayne, Indiana, under the Department of the Army National Guard, has issued a Notice of Intent to Solicit from a Limited Number of Sources for the repair and overhaul of F-16 Radar Absorption Panels. This special notice indicates the government's intention to award a firm fixed price contract to one of only two pre-approved vendors: Texas Management Associates (TMA) or Aerospace and Commercial Technologies (ACT). The procurement falls under NAICS code 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The contracting action is being conducted under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), which allows for limited competition when only a small number of sources are available. This is explicitly not a request for proposals, and no solicitation document will be made available.

The primary objective of this notice is to identify potential contractors capable of performing specialized repair and overhaul services on F-16 Radar Absorption Panels as part of the Air Force Repair Enhancement Program (AFREP). All work must comply with Air Force Instruction 21-123 and be performed using materials and procedures according to Lockheed Martin part drawings and Technical Order 1F016C-3-3 53-21-01. Interested parties must demonstrate their capability and interest by responding via email to lisa.crose@us.af.mil no later than September 22, 2025, by 2:00 PM EDT. Only vendors currently approved by the United States Air Force F-16 System Program Office are authorized to perform this specialized work, which explains the limitation to the two identified companies. The government will not reimburse any costs associated with responding to this notice, and all response expenses remain the responsibility of the interested parties.
