F-16 Power Supply

This procurement initiative involves a combined Request for Information and Synopsis aimed at conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of supplying the F-16 Power Supply with NSN 6130-01-585-9805 and P/N 580717. The government seeks to determine if commercial or nondevelopmental items are available that meet its requirements, with the goal of enhancing competition and improving small business access to acquisition information. The contract is anticipated to be a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type, covering five one-year ordering periods, with an estimated maximum quantity of 114 units to be delivered to unspecified destinations. The procurement is set aside for responsible sources, although it is not expected to be limited to small businesses, and the government emphasizes that the required supplies are available from only a limited number of sources, with no data rights or plans available for reverse engineering or procurement from other sources. Interested parties are encouraged to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations within the specified response window, which ends on November 23, 2024. The government has indicated that the items are subject to certain trade agreements and that the solicitation will not follow the policies outlined in Part 12 for commercial items, although capability submissions related to commercial solutions are welcomed. The procurement is supported by an Engineering Data List for the MMIII end item, which includes manufacturer details, engineering drawings, and remarks, indicating the technical scope and restrictions associated with the supply. The contracting office is located at Hill Air Force Base in Utah, and inquiries can be directed to Michelle Mihu via email. This effort reflects the government's intent to identify capable sources efficiently while maintaining the integrity of the procurement process.
