The 149th Fighter Wing TXANG intends to award a firm-fixed price sole source blanket purchase agreement to Texas Mgt Associates, Inc. (TMA) for repair/overhaul of F-16 radar absorption panels. Currently TMA is the only source approved by the System Program Office, Engineering section, at Hill AFB for contract repair. The SPO is responsible for researching and applying TO standards for the entire F-16 fleet and has the authority to authorize approvals for repairs, refurbishment, and/or any deviations. The SPO does not have the organic capability to refurbish these panels because these panels were not originally designed to need replacement. Because the F-16 fleet service life has been extended and structural modifications have taken place, these panels have become brittle and are now beyond fair wear and tear and require maintenance actions.
