About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force United States Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa has issued a Special Notice regarding the procurement of Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE) Management and Logistics Software through the 764th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron at Ramstein Air Base. The agency intends to award a firm-fixed commercial purchase order to Stone Aircraft Maintenance Solutions LLC of Navarre, Florida, as a sole-source procurement under simplified acquisition procedures. This software system is designed to track and dispatch AGE equipment across multiple USAFE locations, supporting aircraft generation and base support functions through digital request, queuing, and logging capabilities. The system manages over 350 pieces of heavy equipment including ground power units, heating systems, air conditioners, stands, and lighting equipment. The notice was posted on August 5, 2025, with the same date listed as the due date.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of the government's intent to proceed with a sole-source award rather than conduct a competitive procurement process. The justification for this approach centers on Stone Aircraft Maintenance Solutions being the exclusive developer and rights holder of the existing AGE dispatch software platform that is specifically tailored to meet Department of the Air Force mission requirements. The agency has determined that developing new software would create lengthy implementation gaps that could hinder critical AGE operations across the USAFE region. While this notice explicitly states it is not a request for competitive proposals, interested companies may still contact the Contracting Officer to identify their capabilities for potential consideration in future solicitations. The government retains full discretion in determining whether to conduct competitive procurement based on any responses received, and any information submitted will be used solely to assess the potential for future competitive opportunities.
Notice text
The 764th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron (764 ESS/PKA), Ramstein Air Base is providing notice of a proposed contract action to award a firm-fixed commercial purchase order (under the SAT) to the following company:
Stone Aircraft Maintenance Solutions LLC; 8112 Hartington Dr, Navarre, Fl 32566 USA; Cage 953M0
The USAFE-AFAFRICA Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE) Units at Ramstein Air Base require a software program to track and dispatch AGE equipment across multiple USAFE locations. This system, a modern evolution of the existing AGE dispatch process, will enhance the digital request, queuing, and logging of all AGE services supporting both aircraft generation and base support functions. Specifically, the software will allow users to actively track and monitor equipment utilization for Ramstein's flying operations and facilitate communication with other AGE units throughout USAFE.
Currently, Stone Aircraft Maintenance Solutions is the sole developer and rights holder of the existing AGE dispatch software platform, which is tailored to meet the Department of the Air Force's (DAF) mission requirements. This platform supports the management and monitoring of a diverse inventory of over 350 pieces of heavy equipment, including ground power units, heating, air conditioners, stands, and lighting.
Therefore, this procurement intends to renew this software through a simplified acquisition procedures sole-source purchase order to Stone Aircraft Maintenance Solutions LLC. This approach is justified because Stone Aircraft Maintenance Solutions holds exclusive development rights to the software. Developing a new software program would be a lengthy process, potentially creating significant implementation gaps that would hinder critical AGE operations across USAFE reducing our immediate and long term impact across the region.
This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals; however, any interested companies that identify to the Contracting Officer their intent and capabilities to satisfy the Government’s requirement with commercial items after the date of publication of this synopsis will potentially be considered by the Government for future solicitations.
A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract, other than to the single source identified, based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
