RFI R&R services for F-16 APG-66 and APG-68 radar items

The F-16 Support Program Office at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, is seeking information from contractors capable of providing comprehensive repair and return services for APG-66 and APG-68 radar systems and associated avionic line-replaceable and shop-replaceable units down to the lowest component level, in support of Foreign Military Sales partner nations. The effort is unclassified but may involve Controlled Unclassified Information requiring appropriate handling practices, with future classified work contingent on DD Form 254 issuance and personnel clearance. Responses must demonstrate full technical capability to perform all repair work in-house without subcontracting repair execution, though limited subcontracting for supplies and testing is permitted.

All submissions must include estimated repair turnaround times—such as 120 days per item—along with the percentage of contract value subcontracted and detailed justifications for any outsource activities. The work must comply with U.S. Government Technical Orders including TO 11F45-2-15-4 and TO 12S2-4-12-3, adhere to ESD controls, and follow identification and labeling practices using NSNs, part numbers, and CBBL for electrostatic-sensitive components.

The solicitation is a sources-sought RFI, not a binding request for proposals, and does not obligate the government to award a contract. The NAICS code is 811210, with small business size standard set at $34 million in annual receipts, and responses must include business size status, CAGE Code, and UEI. Packaging and shipping standards such as MIL-STD-2073 or MIL-STD-129 are not explicitly referenced but ESD protection and item identification are implied.
