About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force's 355th Contracting Squadron has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source a laser engraver and accessories procurement to a Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB). The acquisition includes six contract line items: a BOSS HP-3655 Gen V-H laser engraver, an air filter/water separator kit, oxygen regulator kit, alignment tool kit, Lightburn Pro software, and a PiBurn V rotary roller. This procurement is being conducted under the SBA Women-Owned Small Business program due to the specialized nature of the equipment required. The laser engraver must be capable of accommodating formats larger than 50 inches with specific technical specifications including a cutting area of at least 34-38"L x 53-59"W x 8-10"H and a Class 4 Laser with 155 Watts power. The equipment must be capable of processing organics and sheet metal up to 18GA thickness.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to provide transparency regarding the Air Force's intention to award this contract as a sole source to a qualified WOSB vendor, as permitted under FAR 19.1506(b). Interested contractors must be SBA-certified Woman-Owned Small Businesses and must respond by August 29, 2025, by emailing the points of contact listed in the notice. The procurement falls under NAICS code 333515, which has been determined to be an underrepresented WOSB category, and market research conducted on August 12, 2025, indicated no reasonable expectation of receiving adequate offers from more than one WOSB vendor. The anticipated contract value remains below the threshold that would eliminate it from WOSB sole source eligibility. Any WOSB believing they can fulfill this requirement is encouraged to submit their interest by the specified deadline to potentially challenge the sole source determination.
