F-16 STABILIZER, HORIZONT

The Department of Defense is issuing solicitation SPRHA4‑25‑R‑0131 for the production of a Horizontal Stabilizer (NSN 1560‑01‑619‑8981, P/N 16T7461‑835) for F‑16 aircraft. This unrestricted acquisition is set‑aside for small businesses, including women‑owned (WOSB/EDWOSB), HUBZone, service‑disabled veteran‑owned, and other qualifying firms under NAICS 336413 (size standard 1,250). Offerors must submit firm prices that remain valid for 120 days and provide all required certifications and representations for the applicable small‑business categories, including the FAR 52.212‑3 and 52.219‑1 representations for joint ventures. Awardees must satisfy strict manufacturing qualification requirements: pre‑qualification notification to the appropriate Small Business Office, certification of facilities, testing, inspection, packaging, and storage capabilities, and submission of a complete data package. Sources may request a qualification waiver under two criteria (certification of prior government supply or qualification on a related article), but a post‑award first‑article exhibit may still be required to verify production capability. All documentation, including stable‑base drawings and any vendor‑supplied data, must be made available for government evaluation per the solicitation’s data‑availability codes.
