AI Contract Overview
The F-16 System Program Office is issuing a combined synopsis/solicitation for a sole-source, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract to support upgrades of GEM VII-2 receiver cards used in the F-16 Embedded GPS/Inertial Navigation System (EGI). This three-year contract includes a one-year base period with two one-year options, with an anticipated ceiling value of $2 million. The work involves swapping existing GEM II receiver cards with the government-furnished GEM VII-2 cards to enable critical anti-spoofing capabilities. The contractor is required to maintain a steady throughput of about 12 EGIs per month, supporting a total scope of 100 to 200 units. All efforts are to be performed at the contractor's facility, with continuous government shipments of the units. Honeywell Aerospace is the sole source for this award due to its status as the original equipment manufacturer with exclusive access to proprietary technical data, specialized tooling, and validated test procedures necessary for ensuring airworthiness after the upgrades. The solicitation, identified by FA8232-26-SAASM, closes on June 2, 2026, with an anticipated award date of July 1, 2026. Respondents must demonstrate capability to perform the upgrades if contesting the sole-source justification, and foreign participation is prohibited at the prime contractor level. The contract structure includes distinct contract line items for receiver card upgrade support, engineering support, and data delivery across the base and option periods.
