About this file

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the procurement of an Electronic Aircraft Tow Vehicle capable of towing multiple aircraft models including the F-16, F-15, F-18, A-10, F-22, and F-35. The 35th Contracting Squadron at Misawa Air Base, Japan intends to issue a sole-source contract to Industrial Supply Co. Inc. for the TowFLEXX tow vehicle. The justification cites the TowFLEXX's authorization for use by the F-16 Special Programs Office and its ability to conduct tow operations across 6 different aircraft models as the reasons for the sole-source award. The estimated contract cost is $0.00. Interested parties have 9 days to challenge the sole-source determination by demonstrating their ability to provide an equivalent product. Any questions are due by 3 Sep 2024, and quotes are due by 6 Sep 2024. This is a notice of intent to award, not a request for competitive proposals.
