The solicitation SPRHA4-26-R-0089 issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Ogden, Hill Air Force Base, Utah, seeks qualified sources to supply electronic components, specifically eight units of item NSN 5998-01-322-7746, part number 16E10150801, for the F-16 aircraft. This sources-sought notice, with a submission deadline of late November 2025, focuses primarily on the qualification of manufacturers rather than price competition. The acquisition entails rigorous qualification processes under FAR clause 52.209-1, requiring offerors to submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) including detailed engineering data, approved test plans, test reports, and evidence of manufacturing and process capabilities. Qualification evidences include compliance with military and defense specifications, such as adherence to DFARS 211.274 for Unique Identification (UID) marking, and standards for counterfeit parts prevention and lead-free solder policies as dictated in attachment documents. The contract’s scope involves manufacturing, inspecting, packaging, and delivering the electronic components in full compliance with government specifications, with acceptance contingent upon successful government inspection, testing, and evaluation. Preservation, packaging, and marking requirements align with military standards to ensure safe handling and traceability, including machine-readable UID markings and documentation consistent with military shipping and packaging protocols. The performance location and delivery destination is Hill Air Force Base, Utah, with an estimated delivery date in late 2027, though definitive pricing, contract type, and option quantities are unspecified due to the solicitation’s sources-sought nature. Evaluation is strictly pass/fail based on meeting comprehensive qualification requirements, with no socioeconomic set-asides or explicit prioritization of offeror size status. The designated point of contact is Kody Quayle at the DLA Aviation office for inquiries and submissions.
