The U.S. Air Force is seeking sources to design, develop, and integrate a Next-Generation Mission Compute (NGMC) upgrade for F-16 Blocks 40/42/50/52, focusing on increased reliability and processing performance. Performance of services may occur at Hill AFB, UT, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH, and/or contractor facilities. The upgrade must be a form, fit, and function replacement for the legacy Modular Mission Computer, utilizing a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) and Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) standards. The government prefers Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware and seeks to break vendor lock, with a key goal of physically separating safety-critical and mission-critical compute resources. Responses to this Request for Information (RFI) are due by 1700ET on 29 June 2026.

The U.S. Air Force is seeking sources to design, develop, and integrate a Next-Generation Mission Compute (NGMC) upgrade for F-16 Blocks 40/42/50/52, intended as a form, fit, and function replacement for the legacy Modular Mission Computer. The upgrade must align with the Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) approach, using a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) and Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) to enable significant increases in reliability and processing performance. Performance of services may occur at Hill AFB, UT, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH, and/or contractor facilities. The government prefers COTS or modified COTS hardware and seeks to break vendor lock, with a key goal of physically separating safety-critical and mission-critical compute resources. Responses to this sources sought notice are due within 30 days of publication.

The U.S. Air Force is seeking sources to design, develop, and integrate a Next-Generation Mission Compute (NGMC) upgrade for F-16 Blocks 40/42/50/52. This upgrade aims to replace the legacy Modular Mission Computer with a modern, software-defined, Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) solution to increase reliability and performance. Performance of services may occur at Hill AFB, UT, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH, and/or contractor facilities.
