About this opportunity
The New York Army National Guard has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Quality Research, Development & Consulting, Inc. (QRDC) for operational rigging equipment. This is not a request for quotes or proposals, but rather a formal notification of the government's intention to proceed with a sole source acquisition. The contract will be for a firm fixed-price delivery order through the System for Award Management (SAM) for specialized airdrop equipment that has been tested and approved by the United States Air Force. QRDC is identified as a women-owned small business located in Minnesota, and the total estimated contract value falls under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.
The sole source acquisition is specifically for Reusable Energy Absorbing Layer (REAL) and Reusable Universal Skid Board (RUSB) systems that will replace traditional single-use materials in airdrop operations. The REAL system consists of reusable rubber-based honeycomb structures that can be used 35 to 100 times, while the RUSB provides a durable alternative to wooden skidboards that typically break after one use. The equipment has undergone User Acceptance Testing and received official USAF authorization for use in Container Delivery Systems, Container Ramp Loads, and other aerial delivery operations. QRDC has been identified as the only known company offering this specific package of tested and approved equipment. The notice includes a deadline of August 31, 2025, and contractors have the opportunity to review the attached justification and authorization documents, though no proposals are being solicited for this sole source procurement.
