Repair Qualification for F-16 APG-68 Radar Transmitter Regulator CCA

This opportunity outlines the qualification requirements for becoming a source to repair Regulator CCAs (Part Number 762R923G01, NSN 5998-01-247-8169) used in the F-16 C/D APG-68 Dual Mode Transmitter. Potential offerors must notify the appropriate government office of their intent to qualify. Key requirements include demonstrating capabilities in repair, inspection, testing, packaging, and storage. Offerors must possess or have access to the necessary facilities and equipment, and these will be subject to government evaluation. A complete data package, including specific Northrop Grumman drawings (762R923G01 and T803A77) and associated procedures, must be verified and potentially provided. The repair process must conform to ESA-approved engineering/technical data, including Unique Identification (UID) requirements. Offerors are responsible for providing data showing compliance with quality, performance, and environmental evaluations, and must identify their material sources and process standards. Offerors must submit a qualification test plan/procedure for prior approval, detailing how they will verify compliance with all performance, environmental, mechanical, and quality assurance requirements. Upon completion of approved testing, a full test report must be submitted for review and approval. The government reserves the right to witness testing, requiring 30 days advance notice. A pre-contract award qualification article, demonstrating form, fit, and function compatibility with the weapon system, must also be provided at the offeror's expense. Successful qualification does not guarantee contract award, and a post-contract award first article exhibit may be required. Estimated costs for qualification are $3,000, with an estimated completion time of 180 days.
