About this opportunity
The 49th Contracting Squadron at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico, under the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command, has issued a Notice of Intent to award a sole-source contract to Firetrucks Unlimited LLC for fire truck rental services. This special notice is being published under FAR 6.302-1(a)(ii)(B) authority and represents the government's intention to bypass competitive bidding for this procurement. The contract involves leasing three fire trucks to maintain flying operations and fire support capabilities at the base during fiscal year 2026. The total estimated contract value is $303,000, structured as a 6-month base period from October 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026, valued at $151,500, plus three optional 2-month extensions at $50,500 each covering April through September 2026. This procurement falls under NAICS code 532490 with a small business size standard of $40 million.
The government's primary objective is to ensure continuous fire support operations at Holloman Air Force Base through reliable equipment rental arrangements. The sole-source justification stems from Firetrucks Unlimited LLC being identified as the only business capable of providing the required number of vehicles within the necessary timeframe, and the company is currently providing similar services to the base. While this is not a competitive solicitation, the government is accepting capability statements from responsible sources through the September 29, 2025 deadline to determine whether full and open competition or small business set-aside procurement might be feasible. The government will not compensate contractors for any information submitted in response to this notice. The contracting officer has determined that competing this requirement would pose unacceptable mission risks due to the critical nature of fire support operations and the limited availability of suitable fire trucks in the commercial market.
