Notice of Intent to Sole Source – 99 CES Monitor and Firmware B721

The 99th Contracting Squadron of the Department of the Air Force has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for the procurement of 99 CES Monitor and Firmware B721. The agency intends to award a sole source purchase order under Federal Acquisition Regulation authority 13.106-1(b)(1), citing that only one source is capable of providing the required supplies or services at the necessary quality level due to their unique or highly specialized nature. This notice is classified under NAICS code 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing) and PSC 5998 (Electrical and Electronic Assemblies, Boards, Cards, and Associated Hardware). The procurement relates to specialized monitoring equipment and associated firmware for the 99th Civil Engineer Squadron. The notice was posted on August 15, 2025, with a rapid three-day response window.

The primary purpose of this notice is to provide an opportunity for potential contractors to demonstrate their capability to fulfill this specialized requirement before the government proceeds with the planned sole source award. Interested sources must submit comprehensive capability statements that include both technical data and cost information with convincing evidence of their ability to meet the requirement by August 18, 2025, at 10:00 AM Pacific Time. All submissions must be sent via email to Gerrymar.villanueva@us.af.mil as Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF attachments not exceeding 10 MB total file size, and contractors are responsible for confirming receipt with the government. The Air Force will consider all timely capability statements solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement or proceed with the sole source approach. Simple requests for documentation or submissions containing only questions will not be considered valid responses, and the final determination on procurement method remains entirely at the government's discretion.
