About this opportunity
The 502d Contracting Squadron (Air Education and Training Command) announces a sole-source intent to award Mamava Inc., Burlington, Vermont, a contract to purchase three lactation pods; responding organizations must submit capabilities and qualifications by 1:00 PM CDT on 27 August 2026. This is a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.105-3 (sole source, commercial item under FAR Part 12), not a competitive solicitation. The procurement addresses PUMP Act compliance failures at the 367 Cyberspace Operations Squadron, where current lactation space exhibits privacy and security deficiencies including wall gaps, transparent ceiling material, and a compromised shared-key locking mechanism. The Government seeks three Slide Lactation Dark units (part TSL-V30-008) with associated shipping, handling, and premium installation services for $26,700.00 total. Required specifications include freestanding, fully enclosed pods with solid, non-transparent walls and roof; keyless smartphone-app-based access with remote availability checking; interior integrated bench, flat work surface, electrical outlets, and ventilation; UL electrical certification; and sliding-door design for high-traffic areas. Market research conducted July 24 through August 10, 2026 determined Mamava is the only manufacturer offering the integrated combination of specialized sanitizable construction, turnkey physical enclosure, and proprietary secure digital access control network required to remedy the identified deficiencies. Interested organizations may submit written capabilities and past performance to darreus.hiers@us.af.mil; oral communication and quotes will not be accepted. The Government reserves sole discretion to compete the effort despite responses received.
