About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Joint Base San Antonio has issued a Special Notice for the procurement of compressor skids designed for the Max Air Compressor system. Posted on March 23, 2026, this notice announces a requirement for 10 compressor skid units, identified as part number MA90-SPEC-AF-FRAME and manufactured by Duchesne Inc. (Max Air). The procurement is being conducted as a single-source acquisition under simplified acquisition procedures, as Duchesne Inc. is the sole manufacturer of these specialized components. The contracting activity AFLCMC/HNCK issued this notice under the Technical Applications Program, with the contracting officer Rebecca Natal authorizing the single-source determination on March 11, 2026. This Special Notice serves to inform the contracting community of the Air Force's intention to procure these items through a non-competitive process.
The compressor skids are custom-designed components jointly developed to meet unique government airworthiness and operational specifications that are not available from alternative sources. The Air Force has justified the single-source procurement based on several factors, including exclusive manufacturing by Duchesne Inc., stringent military certification compliance (MIL-STD-882E, AFI 62-601, DoD 5030.61, RTCA/DO-160G, and MIL-HDBK-516C), and Configuration Control Board approval as the sole design meeting mission requirements. Market research confirmed that no comparable alternatives exist without incurring over $100,000 in additional aerospace certification expenses and prohibitive schedule delays. Interested parties should note the deadline for proposal submission is March 27, 2026. While this is a single-source procurement with Duchesne Inc. as the awarded contractor, the Special Notice provides visibility to industry regarding the Air Force's requirements and procurement strategy under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
