Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5)

This opportunity is to qualify as a repair source for a specific Electron Tube used in the F-16 C/D AN/APG-68 Radar. The qualification process requires significant investment, with an estimated cost of $260,800 and an estimated completion timeline of 730 days. To qualify, an offeror must demonstrate extensive facilities and testing capabilities, provide a qualification article for government evaluation, and submit detailed data and test plans for approval. There are potential waivers to the qualification requirements for sources that have previously supplied similar items or assemblies to the government or OEM. Successful qualification leads to being listed as an approved repair source but does not guarantee a contract award.
