About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force's 700th Contracting Squadron at Kapaun Air Station, Germany has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a single source purchase order to Echelon International LLC for one CBCS DJWICS communications kit. This procurement involves acquiring a custom-made deployable communications kit that enables Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) data and voice processing capabilities. The kit must be ruggedized and transportable to meet various commercial and military transportation requirements. The acquisition will be conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures as authorized by Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1(b)(1). The contracting squadron has determined that Echelon International LLC is the only responsible source capable of satisfying the agency's requirements.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of the government's intent to proceed with a non-competitive procurement, as this is not a request for competitive proposals. During market research, the Air Force contacted potential vendors including Airbus, PacStar, and Curtis Wright Defense Solutions, but these companies were unable to meet the necessary timelines, lacked adequate vendor communication, or could not produce the required kit. Contractors have until July 7, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central European Summer Time to provide information that might be considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive requirement instead. This is characterized as a one-time purchase with no future anticipated requirements for this specific communications kit. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete this proposed contract, and interested parties may contact SSgt Samuel Root at samuel.root@us.af.mil for additional information regarding this procurement.
