About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command is seeking to procure one KC-46 ten-person life raft with survival kit and raft components for training purposes at McConnell Air Force Base. The solicitation (FA462125Q0035) is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) requiring a circular yellow raft with 10-person normal capacity (15-person overload), measuring 9 feet in diameter and 2 feet in height, and must include comprehensive survival equipment such as standard survival kits, sea anchor, heaving ring, mooring line, compressed air inflation system, and various technical components. The government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price Contract based on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria, with offerors required to include visual representations of the proposed life raft in their submissions. Questions must be submitted by 12:00 PM CST on July 9, 2025, while quotes are due by 12:00 PM CST on July 18, 2025, both to be submitted via email to 2nd Lt. Victoria Longava and SrA Fonseka. The evaluation process will involve reviewing offers in pairs, starting with the lowest-priced offers, and selecting the lowest-priced offer that meets technical acceptability requirements.
This solicitation is designated as a total set-aside for small businesses, with the 22d OSS SERE office specifically seeking a life raft from Air Cruisers LLC to meet their training objectives. The procurement requires delivery within 30 calendar days of order receipt and contractors must provide a minimum one-year warranty covering non-user-caused defects. The government has indicated willingness to accept Used Serviceable Material (USM) provided the product is functional and covered by a warranty, recognizing the critical nature of the equipment for simulating real-world emergency situations in water-based training scenarios. The place of performance is located in Wichita, Kansas, and the solicitation falls under NAICS code 336612 (Boat Building) and PSC code 4220 (Marine Lifesaving And Diving Equipment). While no specific contract value is disclosed, this appears to be a relatively small procurement given the requirement for only one life raft unit for training purposes.
