F-16 Recorder Subassembly

The Department of Defense, through the Utah Defense Logistics Agency Aviation at Hill Air Force Base, issued a combined Request for Information and Synopsis to conduct market research for specific aviation components associated with the F-16 program. The purpose is to identify potential sources capable of meeting the agency’s requirements, explore the availability of commercial or non-developmental items, and enhance competition while improving small business access to acquisition information. This notice is not a solicitation for proposals or an offer to contract, and the government does not intend to pay for any information provided in response. The items of interest include a Recorder Subassembly, Circuit Card Assembly, and a Signal Data Recorder, with quantities estimated at 21, 7, and 7 units respectively, all destined for location SW3210 with an estimated delivery of 14 months after receipt of order. While small business set-aside is not anticipated, the government encourages submissions from all responsible sources demonstrating their capability to meet requirements. Qualification by the government’s design control activity is mandatory to maintain part quality, with any alternate sources required to comply with stringent qualification procedures approved by the cognizant engineering authority. Awards will only be made if the offeror and product meet these qualification standards. Additionally, some components fall under Free Trade Agreements regulations. Interested parties are invited to submit capability statements by the specified deadline and may contact the designated point of contact for further information.
