Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, under the Department of Defense, is conducting a Sources Sought (FA8251-26-MMC) to identify potential sources for F-16 Mission Modular Computer (MMC) repair services. This market research aims to determine if responsible sources exist, assess competition, and evaluate the feasibility of a Small Business Set-Aside.

An estimated 530 repairs are anticipated annually. A list of specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs) and part numbers for these components is provided in an attached document. The government notes that specifications, plans, or drawings are incomplete or unavailable, and the requirement is currently restricted to qualified sources, with Raytheon Company (CAGE 96214) identified as the current qualified source.
