AI Contract Overview
The F-16 SAASM/EGI Program is a sole-source, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract solicitation issued by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, intended to secure technical support for upgrading existing GEM II receiver cards to GEM VII-2 units within the F-16’s Embedded GPS Inertial Navigation System. The acquisition, structured with a one-year base period and two one-year option periods, has a total ceiling value of $2,000,000 and is exclusively targeted at Honeywell Aerospace Technology of Clearwater, Florida, as the original equipment manufacturer with proprietary technical data, specialized tooling, and validated procedures essential for maintaining airworthiness during internal card swaps. The contractor will perform all upgrades at its own facility, receiving government-furnished hardware on a continuous delivery schedule while maintaining a steady monthly throughput of approximately twelve EGIs to support a total mission scope of 100 to 200 units across the entire contract term. The contract includes three distinct deliverables per period: upgrade support for the receiver cards, engineering support for system validation, and delivery of data in non-specific format as required by the Contract Data Requirements List. No competitive procurement is anticipated under FAR 6.302-1, and foreign participation at the prime level is prohibited. Responses must be submitted by June 2, 2026, with an anticipated award date of July 1, 2026, and any challenge to the sole-source determination requires documented proof of capability to perform the same hardware integration and system-level validation. All work is conducted at the contractor’s facility, with government oversight for delivery, acceptance, and compliance with established operational and certification standards.
