Small Business Prime or Subcontractor for Teaming

Small businesses including WOSB, EDWOSB, 8(a), HUBZone, and VOSB entities are encouraged to participate as prime contractors or subcontractors in a forthcoming IDIQ contract focused on F-16 SATCOM system upgrades. The opportunity is structured to prioritize diverse business engagement and aims to expand the pool of qualified small business partners across the defense aerospace sector. This initiative supports broader government objectives to increase small business involvement in critical defense modernization efforts by providing pathways for participation without a defined solicitation number or formal set-aside classification. The North American Industry Classification System code 336413 confirms the focus on aircraft manufacturing and related systems integration. The posting was made on May 6, 2026, with responses required by June 8, 2026, and the contracting activity is under the Department of Defense through the FA8232 Aflcmc Wwmk office. Participation is open to qualified small businesses seeking to align with upcoming mission-critical communications upgrades for F-16 platforms.
