This sources-sought notice issued by the Department of Defense, specifically FA8122 Afsc Pzaab, seeks qualified sources for the repair of RF Controllers (NSN 5998-01-303-5872, Part Number 762R831G01) used in the F-16 C/D AN/APG-68 Radar Dual Mode Transmitter. The effort falls under NAICS code 811219 for other electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance. To be eligible for a contract award, offerors must undergo a rigorous qualification process managed by 416 SCMS/GUEAA, which includes submitting a qualification test plan and a pre-contract award qualification article at their own expense. This article will undergo form, fit, and function evaluations to ensure weapon system compatibility and compliance with specific technical drawings, including T320A44 and T363A98. The qualification process is estimated to take 270 days, with an estimated cost of 5,000 dollars to be borne by the potential offering party. Offerors must demonstrate access to necessary facilities and equipment for repair, inspection, testing, packaging, and storage, and must comply with Unique Identification requirements per DFARS 211.274. The government retains the right to conduct on-site inspections of testing processes, requiring 30 days advance notification for any qualification-based testing. Technical support is provided through a Repair Data List containing essential drawings, schematics, and maintenance instructions, some of which may be classified. Successful completion of the qualification testing is a mandatory gate for eligibility but does not guarantee a contract award.
