About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command, specifically the 341st Contracting Squadron, has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source a contract with Skidcar System Inc. for converting a 2008 Ford F-350 SkidCar System to a 2014 Ford F-150 SkidCar System at Malmstrom Air Force Base. Skidcar System Inc. is the sole authorized dealer, maintenance provider, and service provider for SkidCar Equipment in the United States. The contract is critical for maintaining vehicle operator training capabilities for nuclear missile systems, with a potential mission-critical risk if authorized missile complex vehicle operators are reduced. The Notice emphasizes the unique position of Skidcar System Inc. in providing these specialized conversion services. The opportunity is set aside for total small business participation.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to secure a conversion kit and technical assistance to update the existing SkidCar training vehicle at Malmstrom Air Force Base. While the notice indicates a sole-source intent, it still allows all responsible sources to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations that provide clear evidence of competitive advantages to the government. The deadline for submissions is May 17, 2025, with responses required to be submitted electronically to the Contracting Office. Contractors must provide comprehensive documentation demonstrating their capabilities, with oral communications explicitly not accepted as valid responses. The contract includes a 140-day performance period from award, with installation to be conducted by Department of Air Force personnel. Eligibility is open to small businesses that can meet the specialized technical requirements for the SkidCar conversion kit and provide the necessary technical support for installation.

Notice text

Notice of Intent to Sole-Source: The 341st Contracting Squadron intends to award a sole-source contract to Skidcar System Inc. for the materials and technical assistance required to convert the 2008 Ford F-350 SkidCar System, currently in use at Malmstrom Air Force Base, into a 2014 Ford F-150 SkidCar System for continued use at Malmstrom Air Force Base. SkidCar System Inc. is the sole authorized dealer, maintenance provider, and service provider for SkidCar Equipment in the United States. This authorization ensures the proper conversion and installation of the SkidCar kit to maintain system integrity. A reduction in authorized missile complex vehicle operators may pose a mission-critical risk to nuclear security. This conversion and installation is essential to ensure the 341st Missile Wing can properly maintain nuclear missile systems, a critical component of the base's overall strategic mission.

This is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which will be considered by the agency. Any response to this notice must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition for this requirement would be advantageous to the Government.

If no affirmative written response is received by the deadline below, the award will be made without further notice. Oral communications are not acceptable as a response to this notice.

Please see the attached specifications for further details.
