F-16 components

DLA’s F-16 housing buy is back, with five years of ordering planned.

An amended notice gives suppliers another opportunity to respond to this procurement for the F-16’s 20mm ammunition-handling housing. DLA plans up to three contracts, each with five annual ordering periods.

Source approval comes first. For approved or pre-qualified suppliers considering a proposal, the notice also calls for CMMC Level 2 status at award.

Deep Fathom can help review the CMMC requirement and the evidence you have to support it. Source approval is outside our service.

Responses due September 25, 2026, at 4 p.m. Eastern. Deadline observed September 16, 2026.
