About this opportunity
The Nevada Air National Guard Contracting Office has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a sole source contract for 15-foot extraction parachutes to Paradigm Parachute and Defense Inc. This is not a request for quotes or competitive solicitation, but rather a formal notification of the government's intent to proceed with a sole source award under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1). The contract will be structured as a Firm Fixed-Price agreement for supplies needed by the 152nd Logistics Readiness Squadron to procure new parachutes used to extract Type V Heavy drop platforms for aerial delivery. The procurement falls under NAICS Code 314999 (All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills) and is designated as a small business set-aside with delivery requested as soon as possible.
The primary objective of this notice is to inform potential contractors of the government's intention to award a sole source contract while providing an opportunity for other qualified firms to demonstrate comparable capabilities. Interested firms have until July 10, 2025, to submit their technical approach and capability statements, which must include organization details, contact information, business size, CAGE code/UEI, and detailed capability statements. The procurement is specifically designated for small businesses and supports the 192nd Operations Squadron's Unilateral Aircrew Training requirements to maintain flight status for pilots, navigators, and loadmasters. If no responses demonstrating comparable capability are received during the notice period, the government will proceed with the sole source award to Paradigm Parachute and Defense Inc., with the contract value estimated to be below $30,000 and considered urgent for mission readiness support.
