About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command's 5th Contracting Squadron at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota has issued a sole source intent notice for the reinstallation and configuration of an RT3 unit. The squadron plans to award a single source purchase order after September 11, 2025, citing that only one company possesses the capability to fulfill this requirement due to proprietary equipment and specialized installation training requirements. The procurement is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) as an exception to full and open competition. This notice falls under NAICS code 811310 for Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance. The Air Force emphasizes that this is not a request for competitive proposals but rather a notification of their intent to proceed with sole source procurement.
The primary purpose of this notice is to inform the contracting community of the government's intention to sole source this specialized technical service while providing an opportunity for potentially qualified contractors to demonstrate their capabilities. Interested parties who believe they can meet the RT3 system repair service requirements must submit written documentation describing their qualifications by September 11, 2025, at 11:00 AM Central Standard Time. Contractors must demonstrate their ability to provide repair services for the RT3 system to be considered. The government retains full discretion in determining whether to proceed with sole source procurement or conduct a competitive procurement based on the responses received. Any information submitted will be evaluated solely to determine if competitive procurement is warranted, and interested parties should contact SSgt Christian Etner at (701) 723-3556 or christian.etner@us.af.mil for additional details.
