12 -- RADAR CARRIER ASSY

This announcement serves as a periodic qualification requirement under Public Law 2319 for the manufacture of the AN/APG-66 Radar Carrier Assembly, a critical component used in the F-16 aircraft's Low Power Radio Frequency system. The Carrier Assembly Beacon Detector Receiver is responsible for receiving signals from the fixed gun microwave oscillator during beacon mode, ensuring proper impedance matching and enabling the mixing of signals necessary for radar operation. While there is no immediate procurement need by the F-16 Logistics Operation Division, this notification aims to conduct market research by identifying manufacturers with the capability and expertise to produce this assembly for operations at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. The announcement is not a solicitation for bids or proposals and does not imply a guaranteed contract award. Interested manufacturers with relevant experience are encouraged to request a source qualification statement to be considered for potential future opportunities. Contact information is provided for both the source qualification request and contracting officer to facilitate communication. This process ensures readiness to meet future demand while maintaining compliance with statutory requirements and supporting the sustainment of F-16 radar systems.
