This notice is prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 5.2 - Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions. The contracting office for this notice is the 10th Contracting Squadron, USAF Academy, CO 80840.

The US Air Force Academy (USAFA) intends to award a sole source commercial contract using simplified procedures in accordance with FAR parts 12 & 13 to SAWASAWA, LLC. a small business located at 1020 E 59th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90001-0010. The authority for this non-competitive award is 10 USC 2304(c)(l), only one responsible source. The NAICS code for this requirement is 315250 and the PSC is 8405. The size standard as defined by the U.S. Small Business Administration is 750 employees. This notice incorporates provisions and clauses that are in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular FAC 2025-06 effective 10 October 2025. The Government has deemed SAWSAWA, LLC. to be a responsible contractor with respect to performance.

a. Only one responsible source and no other item will satisfy the USAFA requirement.

b. SAWASAWA LLC. is the incumbent contractor. They will be the only source able to deliver the requirement within the schedule required. The Government shutdown caused a shorter delivery schedule and will not allow time for a first article submittal. A detailed search on gsaadvantage.gov and other government sources of supply listed no vendors that can supply this specific product. SAWASAWA, LLC. is listed as an economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business.

c. This request is issued for the 10LRS. Anticipated award on or before 9 December 2025 (subject to availability of funds) as a Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. This requirement will be awarded with one base year and four one-year options.
