The contract pertains to the procurement of two Access Covers for aircraft, specifically designated for use on the F-16 platform, with the part number 16B6592-815 and National Stock Number 1560-01-273-4300. Solicited under SPRHA426Q0774, the opportunity was posted on July 9, 2026, with a response deadline of August 3, 2026, and is managed by the Department of Defense through the Office of DLA Aviation at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. There is no set-aside designation, and the NAICS code 336413 confirms the procurement falls under Aircraft and Aircraft Parts Manufacturing. The primary point of contact is Johnny Wakefield, reachable via email and phone for inquiries. Although the solicitation itself does not specify packaging requirements, the referenced Special Packaging Instruction SPI No. F01-049-4636, despite being issued for a closely related part number (16B6507-819), establishes mandatory military packaging standards under MIL-STD-2073 and MIL-STD-129, including preservation methods, container dimensions, weight restrictions, marking protocols, and compliance with international wood packaging regulations to prevent invasive species. The instruction defines two packaging levels for varying protection needs and applies to all DoD contractors involved in the supply chain, indicating that the delivered covers must adhere to these exacting environmental and logistical specifications to ensure operational readiness and international shipping compliance.
