Common Armament Tester for Fighter (CAT-F)

The Government seeks proposals to develop, manufacture, and field a CAT‑F system – an O‑Level (flightline) and I‑Level (backshop) tester – for the F‑16, F‑15, and A‑10 aircraft. Offerors must use the Statement of Objectives and attachments as the basis for a contractor‑written Statement of Work, a Contract Data Requirements List, and an Integrated Master Schedule that details design, production, and delivery. The system will be delivered as kitted components designed for safe storage and rapid deployment. Technical evaluation will be performed on each subfactor, including O‑Level and I‑Level maturity, sustainment, fielding, product familiarization, MOSA utilization, and intellectual‑property, data‑rights, and data‑availability plans, with an overall “acceptable” rating required for all subfactors. Cost/price is the second evaluation factor, and proposals must also demonstrate compliance with FY‑2025 DoD small‑business subcontracting goals (30% small business, 5% each for SDB, HUBZone, WOSB, and SDVOSB). Offerors are encouraged to provide any additional relevant documentation and must supply specific rationale for any unmet goals. The award will be made to the responsible contractor whose technically acceptable, best‑value proposal meets all solicitation requirements.
