About this file
This is a Single Source Determination document using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for the Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center, in support of the Alaska Regional Office of Aviation Services (OAS). The document justifies a sole-source award to Wipaire Inc. (UEI: GWRWA7SWABK6) for a set of new Wipaire 2100S floats (Part #: CC18-S001) to be installed on a Cub Crafters CC18 aircraft (Tail #: N192CC), replacing floats that are beyond economical repair.
The procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside, with Wipaire Inc. identified as the only vendor reasonably available since they sell directly to consumers without authorized retailers. Market research included reviewing GSAAdvantage and other mandatory sources, confirming no other sources could provide this specific product. A Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source will be posted on SAM.gov for 10 days to allow other potential vendors to respond by December 3, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. EST. Wipaire Inc. is registered in SAM as a small business under NAICS code 336413.
