About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking remanufacture services for the Accessory Drive Gearbox (ADG) and Jet Fuel Starter (JFS) components used in C and D model F-16 aircraft. These components are critical elements of the Engine Starter System (ESS), which provides main engine starting capability both on the ground and during in-flight emergencies. The contractor must perform complete overhaul and remanufacturing services, including substantial tear-down into component parts, with the objective of restoring Shop Replaceable Units (SRUs) to nearly new condition while bringing service life back to levels comparable to originally manufactured items. A key requirement is that vendors must achieve Qualified Source status to be eligible for award, and contractors must possess or operate a facility equipped with necessary test stands for the work. The deadline for all interested parties to respond to this pre-solicitation notice is October 31, 2025, at 5:00 PM Mountain Standard Time, with inquiries directed to Tracy Porter or Leslie Trice at the provided Air Force contacts.
This pre-solicitation notice carries no set-aside designation, meaning it is open to all qualified contractors without restrictions based on business size or ownership status. The notice does not specify an award value, budget range, or quantity of units to be remanufactured, as this is a pre-solicitation phase intended to gauge industry capability and interest. No incumbent contractor is identified in this notice, though this opportunity relates to a previous notice published on March 19, 2025 (Notice ID: F16_ADG_JFS_REPAIR). The specific contractual terms, performance timelines, and evaluation criteria will likely be detailed in the formal solicitation document that follows this pre-solicitation phase. Interested contractors should ensure they can meet the Qualified Source requirement and possess the technical capability and test equipment necessary to perform the complex overhaul and remanufacturing work on these critical engine system components.
