This is a qualification requirement for becoming an approved repair source for a Protection and Control Assembly (NSN 5998-01-242-8034) used on the F-16 C/D aircraft. The process requires offerors to demonstrate extensive facilities, data, and repair process compliance, including providing a qualification article and test results at their own expense. The estimated cost for a potential offeror to complete the qualification process is $3,000, and the estimated time to complete the effort is 180 days. Successful qualification does not guarantee a contract award, and the government will not delay an award to allow a vendor to complete qualification. Waivers to these requirements may be available to sources that can demonstrate prior relevant experience or qualification.
