AI summary Beta

The Air Force (FA8203) wants up to 40 F-16 landing gear housing sections (NSN 3010-01-071-2644 YP) to support Foreign Military Sales. The Government intends to award sole source to the OEM, Hamilton Sundstrand (or an authorized vendor), but will consider capability statements or quotes from other sources by the closing date.

Watch out for

Sole-source intent to the OEM. The Government plans to award to Hamilton Sundstrand, who owns the proprietary rights, so a competing small business has a low chance unless it is an authorized vendor. HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND owns the proprietary rights for this NSN.
