Repair of the F16 UCADC

The Department of Defense, specifically the AFSC PZABB at Hill AFB, is conducting market research via a sources sought synopsis for the repair of F-16 Upgraded Central Air Data Computer (UCADC) components. The objective is to identify capable vendors to provide management, tools, equipment, and labor to test, evaluate, repair, and restore specific circuit card assemblies, power supply assemblies, and pressure transducers to a serviceable Condition Code A. All work must adhere to OEM specifications, approved Technical Orders, and USAF engineering dispositions, though cosmetic restoration to a like-new appearance is not required. These are designated as just-in-time unprogrammed repairs essential for maintaining operational readiness. The estimated value associated with this effort is 34 million dollars under NAICS code 811210. The government is strongly encouraging responses from non-traditional defense contractors and various small business categories, including 8(a), SDVOSB, HUBZone, and WOSB. Interested firms must submit a capability white paper of no more than three pages detailing their company profile, technical competencies, and their intent to undergo the Source Approval Request process. Submissions are managed by Primary Contracting Officer Christian Barwick and Source Development Specialist Tracey Beringer, with a response deadline of November 21, 2026.
