We present Spitzer 16 micron imaging of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey ( GOODS ) fields .
We survey 150 square arcminutes in each of the two GOODS fields ( North and South ) , to an average 3 sigma depth of 40 and 65 \mu Jy respectively .
We detect \sim 1300 sources in both fields combined .
We validate the photometry using the 3-24 \mu m spectral energy distribution of stars in the fields compared to Spitzer spectroscopic templates .
Comparison with ISOCAM and AKARI observations in the same fields show reasonable agreement , though the uncertainties are large .
We provide a catalog of photometry , with sources cross correlated with available Spitzer , Chandra , and HST data .
Galaxy number counts show good agreement with previous results from ISOCAM and AKARI , with improved uncertainties .
We examine the 16 to 24 \mu m flux ratio and find that for most sources it lies within the expected locus for starbursts and infrared luminous galaxies .
A color cut of S _ { 16 } / S _ { 24 } > 1.4 selects mostly sources which lie at 1.1 < z < 1.6 , where the 24 \mu m passband contains both the redshifted 9.7 \mu m silicate absorption and the minimum between PAH emission peaks .
We measure the integrated galaxy light of 16 \mu m sources , and find a lower limit on the galaxy contribution to the extragalactic background light at this wavelength to be 2.2 \pm 0.2 nW m ^ { -2 } sr ^ { -1 } .
