About this opportunity
The 5th Contracting Squadron at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, under the Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command, has issued a Special Notice announcing their intent to award a sole source purchase order for an OMNIcheck Test Bench and related equipment. This specialized equipment is used to verify the performance of Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBAs), Powered Air-Purifying Respirators (PAPRs), gas masks, and half masks. The procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside and falls under NAICS code 334519 for Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing. The agency justifies the sole source approach by citing that only one commercially available SCBA testing device exists in the market, with the manufacturer maintaining strict control over distribution through a single authorized distributor. The procurement will be conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures and Other than Full and Open Competition authority.
The primary purpose of this notice is to inform the market of the intended sole source award while providing an opportunity for interested parties to demonstrate their capability to provide repair services for the OMNIcheck Test Bench Equipment. Companies that believe they can meet the requirements must submit written documentation describing their repair service capabilities by August 1, 2025, at 11:00 AM Central Standard Time. The government emphasizes that this is not a request for competitive proposals, and any determination to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received remains solely at the government's discretion. The anticipated award date is after August 1, 2025, and interested parties can contact Contract Specialist Colton Snyder at (701) 723-3056 or colton.snyder@us.af.mil for additional information. All information received will be evaluated only to determine whether the government should proceed with a competitive procurement process.
