Description

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) intends to award a sole-source IDIQ contract to General Electric Aerospace for the development, qualification, test, and sustainment of the Joint Electronic Data Acquisition Interface (JEDAI) Line Replaceable Unit (LRU). This JEDAI LRU is intended to be the fleet-wide replacement for the current Crash Survivable Flight Data Recorder (CSFDR) systems on the F-16C/D Block 30/32/40/42/50/52 fleet. The existing CSFDR systems are experiencing significant issues due to age, high failure rates, and limited repair options, which negatively impacts aircraft availability and mission readiness. This initiative aims to establish a single, standardized LRU to create a common F-16 configuration, address depleted spares, enhance system reliability, and reduce maintenance expenses. The total estimated value for this effort is $40.4 million. This acquisition is being conducted on a sole-source basis under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). General Electric (GE) Aerospace is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the F-16 CSFDR. The Government lacks the necessary technical data, drawings, or software data rights for a competitive procurement of this redesign and sustainment effort, as this data is proprietary to GE and they have stated they will not sell the rights. Market research, including multiple Sources Sought Synopses, confirmed that no other source could meet the program's requirements without substantial duplication of cost (estimated over $40M) and unacceptable schedule delays (at least eight years). While two vendors responded to a 2025 Sources Sought notice, a government engineering review found their proposed solutions technically unacceptable due to failure to meet critical Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP), security, and system integration requirements.
