Israel retired its "Netz" fighters earlier this year and is now looking to sell the 40-strong inventory, which would be extensively modernised by the partners.
No details of the enhancements has been revealed, but the Israeli air force previously upgraded of its F-16C/Ds under the "Barak 2020" initiative.
The aircraft gained an avionics and mission system enhancement, as well as structural strengthening.
Modifications will begin only when a customer has signed for the aircraft.
The F-16As have been in Israeli service since 1980, but most recently have been employed as aggressor aircraft for training missions.
