D.03 Award Notice Attachment-Sole Source J&A Aircraft Duct Repair.pdf

This is a Justification Review Document for a single source determination issued by the National Guard Bureau for Aircraft Duct Repair services.

The National Guard Bureau is seeking Aircraft Duct Repair services for the 114th Mixed Wing (MXG) through a new firm fixed-price contract funded under O&M Air appropriations. The contracting officer is MSgt Eric Comes (eric.comes@us.af.mil, 605-988-5932), and the contract specialist is TSgt Steven Audinet (steven.audinet.1@us.af.mil, 605-988-5933). The procurement is authorized under 41 U.S.C. 1901 as implemented in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), allowing solicitation from a single source. The requirement involves repair of 11 aircraft ducts located at the 114th MXG that are awaiting repairs following inspection. Due to high volatility in the repair parts supply chain, the organization was unable to obtain pricing without first inspecting the ducts. After completing inspections on eight ducts, total repair costs are estimated to generate funds for the Wing through the AFREP program. The justification demonstrates that Aircraft Ducting Repair Inc. is the only AFREP-approved vendor qualified to complete these repairs on the specific aircraft ducts and part numbers in question, as other companies cannot perform repairs to NSN specifications required for AFREP program qualification. A presolicitation notice was issued prior to the solicitation. The document was dated September 23, 2025, and approved by the contracting officer on April 23, 2026.
