F-16 Grip Assembly

The government seeks qualified sources to manufacture the Grip Assembly, Contr. (NSN 1680012630648WF, P/N 16C1090‑1) for F‑16 aircraft, with delivery required by 10 Mar 2026. Offerors must pre‑qualify by notifying the appropriate Small Business Office or contracting officer, certify that they possess or can access the necessary facilities, tooling, testing, inspection, packaging and storage capabilities, and make these resources available for government evaluation. A complete data package—including all procedures, drawings, specifications and change notices—must be verified, at minimum the Lockheed Martin drawing 16C1090. Sources may request a waiver of the full qualification requirements under either QWC‑1 (submission of government or OEM supply certification) or QWC‑2 (existing qualification on the “right‑hand” article and request for the “left‑hand” article), though a post‑award first‑article exhibit may still be required. The solicitation calls for range pricing and an achievable delivery schedule for a baseline quantity of six assemblies, acknowledging that Foreign Military Sales (FMS) demand volatility may result in higher or lower award quantities. Offerors must provide price brackets for 1‑2, 3‑4, 5‑10, 11‑15, and 16 units and propose a delivery schedule based on their internal product‑line review; the Contracting Officer may negotiate an updated schedule. The government reserves the right to amend or cancel the solicitation if received quotations or projected needs indicate a different quantity is optimal.
