Prospective

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Special Operations Forces/Personnel Recovery (SOF/PR) Fixed Wing Branch intends to solicit and negotiate a sole-source contract with Global Defense Solutions LP (Cage 6T7K0) for the purchase of a Brake Temperature Monitoring System kit that involves the design, install and integration that meets SOF current capability. This support encompasses the HC/AC/MC-J aircraft. The Government intends to award a six (6) year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract with a six (6) month option to extend in accordance with FAR 52.217-9 for a potential period of performance of six years and six months. The period of performance for this effort is anticipated to begin FY27 and end FY32. This acquisition will be awarded using Other than Full and Open Competition procedures citing the authority at 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. Based on market research, only Global Defense Solutions LP has propriety software, data and component design capable of completing this effort. Award to any other source would result in an unacceptable risk in fulfilling the Air Force requirements and substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. The Justification and Approval (J&A) authorizing the sole source award will be made publicly available within 14 days of contract award IAW FAR 5.301(d)(1) and FAR 6.305(a). The J&A will remain publicly available on Sam.gov IAW FAR6.305(d). This is a notice of proposed contract action and NOT a request for competitive proposals; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the Government. All inquiries should be sent by email to the designated point of contact or Contracting Officer. Responses to this notice must be submitted by the date/time listed on the notice. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government in future procurements.
