About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command's Commander Fleet Readiness Centers (COMFRC) Procurement Group at Patuxent River, Maryland has issued a sole source intent notice for Fuel Control Test Set T/E services. The notice announces the government's intention to award a purchase order to Ultra Electronics Ice Inc., located in Manhattan, Kansas, without competition under FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b)(i) due to only one source being reasonably available. The procurement involves testing, repair, calibration, and return services for the Fuel Control Test Set (FCTS) TTU597/E equipment required by COMFRC Aviation Support Equipment in Solomons, Maryland. Ultra Electronics Ice Inc. has been identified as the sole qualified source because they are the original equipment manufacturer, designer, and developer of the FCTS units. The notice was posted on August 5, 2025, with a response deadline of August 8, 2025.
The primary objective of this sole source procurement is to obtain specialized maintenance services for critical fuel control testing equipment that supports naval aviation operations. Contractors have three calendar days from the publication date to submit capability statements if they believe they can provide the required services, though this notice explicitly states it is not a request for competitive quotes. Only responsible sources that can demonstrate the capability to fully integrate with the FCTS and meet operational and reliability requirements are eligible to respond. The government reserves sole discretion in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on any responses received, with the default position being to proceed with the sole source award to Ultra Electronics Ice Inc. due to their unique position as the OEM with proprietary knowledge and capabilities essential for the equipment's maintenance and operation.
