About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command has issued a Special Notice for the procurement of 24 mobile equipment lockers for the 188th Security Forces Squadron at Ebbing Air National Guard Base in Arkansas. This is not a competitive solicitation but rather a notice of intent to award a single-source contract to GearGrid Corp under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). The procurement is designated as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside opportunity and falls under NAICS code 332999 for miscellaneous fabricated metal product manufacturing. The contracting activity, the 97th Contracting Squadron, has identified GearGrid Corp as the only source capable of meeting the specific requirements outlined in the salient characteristics document.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to provide other potential sources an opportunity to demonstrate their capability to meet the government's requirements before proceeding with the intended single-source award. Interested contractors must submit comprehensive capability statements that include both technical data and cost information by August 15, 2025, at 4:00 PM Central Standard Time. Submissions must be sent electronically in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF format to the designated government email addresses. The capability statements must provide sufficient detail and convincing evidence of the contractor's ability to supply mobile lockers with specific dimensional and construction requirements, including 18-inch wide components, maximum height of 83 inches, and robust steel construction with locking casters. The government retains full discretion to determine whether to proceed with competitive procurement based on the responses received, and any submissions that merely request information or ask questions will not be considered valid responses.
