About this opportunity
The 147th Air Transportation Wing (ATW) of the Texas Army National Guard has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source for the procurement of Snap-On Tools and toolboxes. This announcement, posted on March 27, 2026, indicates the agency's intention to award a purchase order exclusively to IDSC Holdings LLC, doing business as Snap-On Industrial (CAGE Code 55719), located in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The sole source justification is based on the unique qualities and standardized functionality of Snap-On Tools across all Air Force shops and mechanics. The procurement is authorized under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.301-1, which permit sole source awards when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. While this announcement constitutes a notice of intent rather than a competitive request for proposals, the Government has indicated that responsible sources may submit capability statements for consideration.
The primary objective of this procurement is to maintain standardized end-user functionality, tool accountability processes, and shortage order procedures across supported units regardless of geographic location. The solicitation was issued on March 31, 2026, with an initial proposal response deadline of April 3, 2026, though the Special Notice itself indicates an April 11, 2026 due date. All responsible sources are eligible to submit capability statements, though the Government is under no obligation to accept competitive proposals or reimburse any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to the notice. Snap-On Tools meet Air Force professional standards for quality and serviceability, offering lifetime warranty and free replacement on hand tools, with partial replacement or repair policies on electronic and air tools. The Government reserves sole discretion to determine whether to compete this requirement based on responses received, and no payment will be provided for unsolicited information from potential sources.
