Redesign and Source Qualification of F-16 CDEEU

The U.S. Air Force is conducting market research to identify a vendor or distributor capable of independently redesigning, reverse‑engineering, and qualifying a new source of supply for the Common Data Entry Electronic Unit (CDEEU, NSN 7025015093748WF) used on all USAF F‑16 blocks. Current shortages have placed the part in a Mission Impaired Capability Awaiting Part(s) (MICAPS) status, affecting fleet readiness. The contractor must develop all necessary engineering data and technical resources without Government‑furnished information, and must demonstrate that the redesigned CDEEU meets all Form, Fit, Function, Interface, and Operational Safety, Suitability, and Effectiveness (OSS&E) requirements to restore a reliable, continuous manufacturing pipeline for global F‑16 operations. Interested parties shall submit a capability statement by 25 June 2026 that includes: company information (name, CAGE, UEI, POC), business size/status and applicable socioeconomic categories under NAICS 541330, past performance on independent redesign, reverse‑engineering, and source qualification of complex military aerospace electronics, and a brief technical approach outlining how they will obtain or create the required data and ensure compliance with all performance criteria. The response will be routed electronically to the designated Government point of contact and will be used to determine if the requirement can be set aside for small businesses and to support a future single‑award procurement.
