About this file
This is a Determination & Findings (D&F) document for a sole source procurement action by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations and Air Force Training Center, Pacific/Ramstein (412 OSS & AFTC/PZZG).
The contracting activity seeks to procure the REAL/RUSB (Reusable Energy Absorbing Layer/Reusable Universal Skid Board) system, a proprietary military airdrop equipment that replaces one-time use honeycomb energy dissipating pads and legacy plywood ski boards. The required products include five units of the complete REAL/RUSB system (component part numbers: 4242S100BSbBbTbBe, CDS4242S100BSbBnTbBeH), six REAL06M12 units, six REAL23M126 units, one REAL04M06 unit, one RUSB03 1" black unit with RUSB07 0.5" white base board and RUSB06 0.25" white top board with belt, four handles for RUSB deployment, and associated shipping. The system reduces overall aircrew training costs and increases manpower productivity.
The Contracting Officer justifies the sole source award to QRDC, Inc. under RFO 13.101(b) (Noncommercial Products and Services) and GSAR 538.7104-3(a), citing that QRDC, Inc. is the sole manufacturer with exclusive proprietary rights and no authorized third-party resellers domestically or internationally. A Sources Sought Synopsis published on SAM.gov from June 17-24, 2026 generated zero industry responses, and QRDC, Inc. subsequently provided written confirmation of sole manufacturing capability. The determination was signed and approved by Jamil Minosa, TSgt, USAF Contracting Officer, on July 9, 2026.
