SOURCES SOUGHT
\n\nNOTICE: This is not a solicitation but rather a Sources Sought to seek new qualified and responsible manufacturers to produce spare F-16 parts in support of the United States Air Force (USAF). This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) and does not construe as a commitment by the Government.
\n\nSubject: F-16 Transparencies, NSN: 1560-01-462-2040, NSN: 1560-01-462-4551, NSN: 1560-01-497-5078, NSN: 1560-01-497-5956, NSN: 1560-01-497-5959, NSN: 1560-01-497-6599
\n\nThe USAF is seeking out additional manufacturing sources capable of producing F-16 transparencies and interested in becoming qualified to do so. Currently PPG Aerospace is the sole qualified manufacturing source. The Government owns the specifications. New sources interested in becoming qualified must meet the requirements in the MQR and EDL that are attached. The EDL and Engineering Instructions are the same for all 6 NSNs. The Government's objective is to expand the qualified industrial manufacturing base by identifying and qualifiing additional sources.
\n\nAnticipated Acquistion Strategy for the Follow-on Contract:
\n\nThe Government anticipates a follow-on Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with an anticipated award timeframe of September 2027. The effort is planned for a 5-year ordering period supporting both USAF and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) requirements, with an estimated total ceiling of $85M. The acquistion is anticipated to include on-ramping provisions to allow newly qualified Contractors to be added to the multiple-award vehicle post-award once qualification requirements are satisfied. Keep in mind, this is subject to change...
\n\nSee the attached attachments attached to this Sources Sought for additional information concerning this Sources Sought.
\n\nRequests for technical data must be requested through the points of contact below. Requests must include a copy of your JCP printout or DD 2345. If the POC requesting access is not identified on the DD 2345 or the JCP printout, it will be rejected. The requestor must be identified on the DD 2345 in order to be granted access.
\n\nAll interested foreign parties shall let the Contracting Officers (CO) know that they are a foreign party so that the COs can clear them access to the drawings through the foreign disclosure office (FDO).

\n\nNOTICE: This is not a solicitation but rather a Sources Sought to seek new qualified and responsible manufacturers to produce spare F-16 parts in support of the United States Air Force (USAF). This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) and does not construe as a commitment by the Government.
\n\nSubject: F-16 Transparencies, NSN: 1560-01-462-2040, NSN: 1560-01-462-4551, NSN: 1560-01-497-5078, NSN: 1560-01-497-5956, NSN: 1560-01-497-5959, NSN: 1560-01-497-6599
\n\nThe USAF is seeking out additional manufacturing sources capable of producing F-16 transparencies and interested in becoming qualified to do so. Currently PPG Aerospace is the sole qualified manufacturing source. The Government owns the specifications. New sources interested in becoming qualified must meet the requirements in the MQR and EDL that are attached. The EDL and Engineering Instructions are the same for all 6 NSNs. The Government's objective is to expand the qualified industrial manufacturing base by identifying and qualifiing additional sources.
\n\nAnticipated Acquistion Strategy for the Follow-on Contract:
\n\nThe Government anticipates a follow-on Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with an anticipated award timeframe of September 2027. The effort is planned for a 5-year ordering period supporting both USAF and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) requirements. The Government anticipates a monthly demand of approximately 40 to 50 quantities over the course of this timeframe. The acquistion is anticipated to include on-ramping provisions to allow newly qualified Contractors to be added to the multiple-award vehicle post-award once qualification requirements are satisfied. Keep in mind, this is subject to change...
\n\nSee the attached attachments attached to this Sources Sought for additional information concerning this Sources Sought.
\n\nRequests for technical data must be requested through the points of contact below. Requests must include a copy of your JCP printout or DD 2345. If the POC requesting access is not identified on the DD 2345 or the JCP printout, it will be rejected. The requestor must be identified on the DD 2345 in order to be granted access.
\n\nAll interested foreign parties shall let the Contracting Officers (CO) know that they are a foreign party so that the COs can clear them access to the drawings through the foreign disclosure office (FDO).
