The USAF seeks a contractor to test and repair F-16 Upgraded Central Air Data Computer (UCADC) components to serviceable "A" condition per OEM specifications and approved technical orders, with cosmetic restoration not required. These are just-in-time, as-required repairs—not scheduled or depot-level overhauls—requiring the contractor to maintain full capabilities (expertise, personnel, test equipment, tooling, parts, facilities) to meet turnaround times. The awardee must be a currently qualified repair source or complete source qualification prior to award; contract award will not be delayed for pending qualification. The contractor must keep detailed repair/test records and cost accounting identifying labor, materials, and other direct costs per item. Vendors must have or be able to obtain all required test equipment, special tooling, and technical data, with source qualification potentially required before award.
