About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for USAFADS F16 Helmets issued by the 99th Contracting Squadron of the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command. The Air Force intends to award a sole source delivery order under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B), citing that only one source is capable of providing the required supplies at the necessary quality level due to the unique and highly specialized nature of USAFADS F16 Helmets. This notice is not a competitive solicitation; however, interested sources are invited to submit capability statements demonstrating their ability to meet the requirement with convincing technical and cost evidence. Capability statements must be submitted by email in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF format, with total attachments not exceeding 10 MB, to sedrina.welches@us.af.mil with a deadline of August 7, 2026 at 10:00 AM Pacific Time. Offerors are responsible for contacting the government to confirm receipt prior to the due date.
The government will evaluate all capability statements received by the deadline to determine whether to proceed with competitive procurement or continue with sole source acquisition. The submission of capability statements does not obligate the government to compete the requirement, and the decision to sole source remains within the government's sole discretion. Questions alone will not be considered affirmative responses, and all submitted information will be used exclusively to assess capability and inform the procurement approach.
