About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force's 355th Contracting Squadron issued a sole-source intent notice on August 6, 2026, for a HC-130J Mobile Wire Maintenance Tool Kit (DMC Part Number DMC1362MOD1) and has set a four-calendar-day response window through August 10, 2026, for interested parties to submit capability statements. The Government intends to procure from Daniels Manufacturing Corporation only, citing FAR 6.302-1 authority and stating it does not possess or cannot provide the data necessary to manufacture the item from any other source. The kit comprises over 200 specialized tools designed for C-130J aircraft electrical connector maintenance and repair, including integrated cross-reference data and illustrated instructions for compliant repairs. Market research confirmed that while individual tools are available from other vendors, procuring components separately is logistically inefficient and does not meet the Government's requirement for a standardized, certified kit. A legacy kit previously delivered by Lockheed Martin is incomplete and no longer manufactured. The Government notes that source approval is required and 355 CONS will not delay award pending approval of a new source. This notice serves as both the sources-sought notice and the sole-source justification under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
