1. The 355th Contracting Squadron, Davis-Monthan AFB, hereby submits an intent to sole source

notice. The Government intends to award a firm-fixed-priced contract to Win Win Aviation, Inc.

for freefall and static line airlift support. This procurement action is being conducted in

accordance with FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services

Will Satisfy the Requirement. This document does not constitute a request for quotations,

proposals, or bids.

2. An extended description of the product being acquired is as follows:

a. The airlift support aircraft needs to have the following specifications: vendor is US Air

Mobility Command approved to include aircrew certifications and licenses, side mounted

troop seats/side facing seats for 16 parachutists, parachute jump lights in cargo

compartment, aircraft cargo compartment capable of accommodating 16 parachutists with

portable oxygen consoles, intercom system between jumpmaster/aircrew, configured for

over the ramp static line operations, fixed static line cable and retrieval system, capable of

deploying 9 double bag static line jumpers in one pass, configured for day and night

HALO/HAHO operations, capable of airdrop operations at 17,500 feet via ramp, equipped

with side doors capable of opening and closing during flight for spotting, have ramp and

door for jumper’s exit, aircrew have an oxygen system. The only aircraft on the Paratroop

Commercial Operator Listing capable of the operations is the Sherpa aircraft provided by

Win Win Aviation, Inc. The risk of using an unauthorized carrier that is not on the

approved Paratroop Air Carrier Listing jeopardizes the safety of personnel. Using aircraft

that does not meet all requirements listed above could result in degraded training due to

improvised operations. It is essential to the mission to only use aircraft specifically

designated for all operations to ensure the safety and practicality of training for

paratroopers.
