Source Sought F35 Map Lip Light

The US Air Force is conducting a sources sought synopsis to determine the existence of sources that may be capable of satisfying the Government's requirement for F-35 compatible Map Lip Lights. The Map Lip Light is a mission-critical component that provides dedicated, low-signature illumination within the cockpit, enabling the pilot to read maps and other flight documents during night operations without compromising visual acuity or aircraft detectability. The component must integrate seamlessly with the existing F-35 pilot oxygen mask and helmet assembly. Key requirements include adherence to specific Night Vision Imaging System (NVIS) compatibility standards and compliance with all F-35 program airworthiness, electrical, and material specifications. Interested parties who believe they have the capability to provide the required Map Lip Lights must submit a capabilities statement that includes company information, business size, and technical capability. • The Map Lip Light must be compatible with the F-35 pilot oxygen mask and helmet assembly. • The component must adhere to specific Night Vision Imaging System (NVIS) compatibility standards. • The component must comply with all F-35 program airworthiness, electrical, and material specifications. • Interested parties must submit a capabilities statement that includes company information, business size, and technical capability.
