About this opportunity
The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), specifically the Naval Special Warfare Command, has issued a Special Notice for a Firm Fixed Price contract to procure non-tactical parachute canopies and harness containers. The procurement is focused on brand-specific equipment from Performance Designs and Sunpath, utilizing simplified acquisition procedures for commercial items under 41 U.S.C. 1901. The contract will support military Free Fall Operations by replacing damaged inventory of specialized parachute systems. This acquisition is being conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12 for commercial items and FAR Subpart 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The special notice is explicitly not a Request for Quotation (RFQ) and does not constitute a government obligation.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to acquire critical parachute systems for Air Operations Instructors and authorized military personnel, with a strict focus on specific manufacturers that meet unique operational requirements. The opportunity is set aside as a Total Small Business contract, with a posted date of May 27, 2025, and a response due date of June 11, 2025. Eligible contractors must be small businesses capable of providing parachute systems from either Performance Designs (Sabre 2 main parachute systems) or Sun Path Products (Javelin Odyssey Harness). Market research has confirmed these are the only two manufacturers meeting the Navy's specialized technical specifications. The contract will be funded through Operations and Maintenance (O&M) funding, with the contracting officer having determined the anticipated costs to be fair and reasonable. Interested small business contractors should carefully review the Justification and Approval documentation that will be posted with the synopsis.
