The DD FORM 1423-1, FEB 2001,
This Engineering Data List (EDL) provides a comprehensive inventory of engineering drawings, accompanying documents, materials, and processes related to the F-16 Horizontal Stabilizer. The document, dated February 16, 2022, and revised seven times, is managed by Lockheed Martin Corporation under reference number 16T7461-835. It details various components of the horizontal stabilizer assembly, including the box, leading edge, bushings, skin, rib spars, front spar, bracket details, tip rib, trailing edge closure, pivot shaft, root ribs, pivot shaft closure beam, fittings, leading edge skin, leading edge spar, leading edge rib, and leading edge wedge. The EDL also lists essential materials like aluminum alloys, epoxy resins, sealants, graphite fiber tape, and structural adhesives, along with numerous manufacturing processes such as sealing, adhesive application, welding, inspection, heat treatment, electrical bonding, and fatigue and fracture control. Non-destructive testing methods like penetrant, hardness, conductivity, eddy current, and ultrasonic inspections are also specified. A legend defines codes for document furnishing methods, indicating that most documents are furnished with solicitation or contract award. Additionally, it contains a critical notice regarding the release of data to foreign-owned companies, requiring approval from the Foreign Disclosure Office. This document is crucial for manufacturing, maintenance, and quality control of the F-16 Horizontal Stabilizer.
This document outlines engineering data requirements for manufacturing the F-16 Horizontal Stabilizer Assembly, Part Number 16T7461-835, and National Stock Number 1560-01-619-8981WF. Prepared by Donald Willmoth from 416 SCMS/GUEAA on February 17, 2022, the instructions emphasize using specified military standards and materials, with no substitutions allowed without prior engineering approval. Deviations from control drawings are also prohibited without approval. Key directives include marking per MIL-STD-130 and using SAE AMS-QQ-A-250/4 material. Critical safety item status is noted, with reference to EO 14C5251-H. A significant section details the mandatory Horizontal Stabilizer Trailing Edge Reinforcement Repair (55-12-02-11) as per TO 1F-16C-3-4 Section 2.1.1.5.13. This repair involves preparing rivet holes, manufacturing and installing stainless steel straps with sealant, and securing them with sleeve rivets. Safety warnings regarding drilling, milling, countersinking, and handling graphite-epoxy skins are provided, along with notes on recommended drill bits and backup devices.
This document outlines the manufacturing qualification requirements for the F-16 Horizontal Stabilizer (P/N: 16T7461-835). To become a qualified source, offerors must notify the government of their intent, certify facilities and equipment, verify data packages, and demonstrate manufacturing and process compliance with Unique Identification (UID) requirements. They must also prove access to and ability to use Lockheed Martin Master Tooling, provide a qualification test plan for approval, and submit a pre-contract award qualification article for evaluation. The estimated cost for qualification is $5,000, with an estimated completion time of 270 days. Full qualification is mandatory before contract award. The document also details six criteria for a source qualification waiver, including prior government supply, qualification on mirror-image articles, and qualification for similar items or assemblies.
This document outlines the preservation, packaging, and marking requirements for government contracts, emphasizing adherence to various military and commercial standards. Key regulations include MIL-STD 2073-1 for military packaging, ASTM D3951 for commercial packaging, and MIL-STD 129 for military marking. It also details requirements for hazardous materials, electrostatic discharge sensitive items, and the use of wood packaging materials in international trade (ISPM 15). The document specifies the use of specialized shipping containers (MIL-STD-648) and palletized unit loads (MIL-STD-147). Contractors are required to prepare and submit Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for hazardous materials and use the Web Supply Discrepancy Report (WebSDR) for reporting packaging discrepancies. Access to government packaging documents and specifications is provided through the ASSIST website and SPIRES for special packaging instructions. The overall purpose is to ensure uniform and compliant packaging, marking, and handling of materials for DoD facilities and government activities.
This document outlines packaging and destruction protocols for Department of Defense (DoD) materials, emphasizing restrictions and safety. Distribution is limited to DoD and its contractors. Destruction must follow NISPOM or DoD 5200.1-R guidelines, ensuring unclassified, limited documents are destroyed to prevent disclosure. Key notices include no repackaging for assets compliant with previous SPI editions if integrity is maintained, substitution of packaging materials if protection is equal or better without increased government cost, and mandatory Level A packaging for overseas and FMS shipments. The document also details preservation methods for bearing surfaces and specific covering requirements. A significant portion addresses International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM No. 15), mandating that all wooden packaging materials for international trade be constructed from debarked, heat-treated wood (56°C/133°F for 30 minutes) and certified by an ALSC-recognized agency to prevent invasive species like the pinewood nematode. This applies to all worldwide shipments, including those through ALC, CCP, or other bases.
This government solicitation, SPRHA4-26-R-0155, is for an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Horizontal Stabilizers used on F-16 aircraft, with a five-year ordering period. The acquisition is restricted to qualified sources (Lockheed Martin CAGE 81755 and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies CAGE 1XKR3). The contract includes requirements for First Article approval, government testing, and adherence to various clauses covering areas like accounting, payment instructions (Wide Area Workflow), and quality assurance (ISO 9001:2000). The solicitation details minimum (15 each) and maximum (100 each) quantities, specific delivery schedules, packaging and marking standards (MIL-STD-130, MIL-STD-129, MIL-STD-2073-1E), and robust supply chain traceability documentation requirements. It also outlines various Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses related to contractor conduct, safeguarding information, and subcontracting.
