About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command has issued a Special Notice for a Sole Source procurement of a Fuel Oil Heat Exchange Filtration System for F-15 aircraft. Specifically, the notice pertains to a Hot Flush flushing system designed to clean heat exchangers while they remain installed on aircraft, which is intended to reduce maintenance hours and aircraft downtime. The procurement is being conducted by the 366th Contracting Squadron at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho. Hot Flush Inc. has been identified as the sole approved source for this equipment, as they are the only manufacturer with a system tested and approved by the F-15 System Program Office (SPO). The contracting officer determined on November 21, 2024, that a single source procurement is justified under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1).
The objective of this Special Notice is to procure a specialized equipment solution to address thermal management issues in F-15 aircraft fuel oil heat exchangers, which currently require extensive maintenance when overheating or contamination occurs. The notice indicates that the procurement will be awarded on or after December 10, 2024, and is categorized under NAICS code 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing. Contractors should note that this is not a bridge action, and the SPO will continue searching for alternative systems in the future. The Hot Flush system is currently the only approved equipment authorized for on-aircraft heat exchanger flushing, with the SPO having previously procured two prototype systems to conduct trials and data collection. Potential contractors interested in this opportunity should be prepared to coordinate closely with the F-15 SPO and ensure they can meet the specific technical requirements for the flushing system, including the latest configuration and required connection adaptors.
