F-16 Wing Pylon Rib Repair
Solicitation # FA823226QPYL
The U.S. Air Force is conducting market research to identify capable sources for repairing a corrosion issue on the F-16 Wing Pylon Rib attach fitting for F-16 Block 30, 32, 40, 42, 50, and 52 aircraft. This effort is focused on developing a repair solution that can be implemented within 12 months, performed in the field while the wing remains installed on the aircraft, and conducted by end users or Contract Field Teams and Depot Field Teams. The repair must fully resolve existing corrosion in designated areas A, B, C, and D as shown on the engineering drawing 16W112 and prevent recurrence for the remainder of the aircraft’s service life. The Government is evaluating potential vendors for their technical capability, cost structure, technology maturity, and past performance delivering similar repair services to both government and commercial customers over the past three years. Responses must include details on small business status—such as 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, or Women-Owned—and any teaming arrangements, clearly distinguishing the roles of the prime contractor from subcontractors. All interested parties must submit a signed DD Form 2345 to the program manager prior to receiving the limited distribution engineering drawings. The certification process requires coordination with the Joint Certification Office and has variable turnaround times depending on submission method, so early initiation is strongly encouraged. Once the DD Form 2345 is approved, the drawing package will be provided via secured electronic transfer with login credentials. Submissions must be received by August 14, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, through the SAM.gov portal. The solicitation number is FA823226QPYL, and the NAICS code for this effort is 488190 with a size standard of $40 million. The Government aims to assess whether a competitive acquisition or a total Small Business Set-Aside is feasible based on responses received, with performance expected to occur in Richland, South Carolina, and the lead office located at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. Technical inquiries should be directed to Ryan Lambert or Yvonda Benson.
