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.

The government is seeking information from Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses, Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, 8(a), HubZone, Women-Owned, and other small businesses with demonstrated expertise in utilizing tethered drone systems for soft wash cleaning of building facades, windows, masonry, and hard surfaces up to 175 feet in height.

To be considered capable, firms must hold an active FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certification and, if operating drones exceeding 55 pounds, must possess an FAA Section 44807 Heavy Drone Exemption. All equipment must be NDAA-compliant with verified manufacturer and origin details, and vendors must carry UAS aviation liability insurance of at least $2 million. Vendors must also hold an OSHA 30-hour certificate and a D38 Sand and Water Blasting license, and must be registered in SAM.gov. Responses must include past performance examples with contract value, building height, and points of contact from similar projects completed within the last three years. Strict limitations on subcontracting apply: the prime contractor must perform at least 50% of the contract cost with its own personnel or similarly situated certified SDVOSB/VOSB entities, and no pass-through arrangements are permitted. Failure to submit a signed VAAR 852.219-75 Certificate of Compliance will render a response ineligible. The government will not reimburse any costs incurred in responding, and submissions must be received by July 20, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. EST, addressed to Stephanie Naron, Contract Specialist. All responses will inform future acquisition planning under the Veterans First Contracting Program, which prioritizes awards to verified SDVOSBs when the Rule of Two is met.
