This contract covers the procurement of hydraulic test sets used to operationally check two hydraulic motors on the leading edge flap power drive unit of an F-16 aircraft.

The specified test set has detailed physical dimensions and electrical requirements, including an overall length of 16.6 inches, width of 15.2 inches, height of 13.1 inches, and operates on 28 volts direct current, weighing approximately 35 pounds. Additionally, one set of technical manuals must be delivered 45 days prior to the arrival of the production hardware. Delivery is expected within 12 months after receipt of order.
