F-16 Actuator, Electro-ME

The Department of Defense, DLA Aviation (Ogd​en, UT) is issuing a Sources‑Sought notice (Solicitation SPRHA426‑R‑0604) to identify qualified manufacturers for the electro‑mechanical actuator (NSN 1680‑01‑168‑9396, P/N 16VM003006‑4) used on F‑16 aircraft. The government seeks up to 13 units for delivery to DTW004 by 30 April 2028 and is not planning a small‑business set‑aside. Offerors must notify the appropriate Small Business Office or contracting officer of intent to qualify, certify that they possess or can access the required facilities, equipment, tooling, and personnel, and provide a complete data package—including all drawings, specifications, and change notices (e.g., Lockheed Martin drawing 16VM003006‑4). Qualification requirements include UID compliance (DFARS 211.274), manufacture to the ESA‑approved engineering data, a pre‑award qualification article, and a government‑approved test plan and report submitted to 416 SCMS/GUEAA at the offeror’s expense. The government retains inspection rights, including on‑site witnessing of testing with at least 30‑day notice. Sources meeting waiver criteria (e.g., prior government deliveries or right‑hand article qualification) may request partial or full waivers but may still need to provide a post‑award first‑article exhibit. Interested parties should submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations and contact April Blakeley (april.blakeley@us.af.mil) for further information.
