This is a qualification requirement for becoming an approved repair source for a specific AIBU component used on the F-16 aircraft. The estimated cost for a potential bidder to complete the required testing and evaluation is $23,300, and the qualification process is estimated to take 180 days to complete. To qualify, an offeror must demonstrate extensive facilities, data, and repair process compliance, and must provide a qualification article for government evaluation at their own expense. The government will evaluate proposals only from fully qualified sources, but there are waiver criteria for sources with prior relevant experience or existing qualifications.
