Notice of intent to Sole Source Agreement

The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center has issued a Special Notice announcing their intent to award a sole source Blank Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Dominion Propeller Corp of Anchorage, Alaska for FAA certified propeller repair services. The notice pertains to repair and replacement services for government-owned light fixed wing aircraft propellers located in Alaska, with an estimated ceiling value of $249,000. The agency intends to utilize Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures for this acquisition. This notice is specifically designated as a Total Small Business set-aside opportunity. The Interior Business Center's Acquisition Services Directorate is managing this procurement action.

The primary objective of this sole source arrangement is to secure maintenance, repair, and potential replacement services for Hartzell, McCauley, and Sensenich propellers installed on government aircraft in Alaska. The government has determined that Dominion Propeller Corp is the only FAA Approved Certified Aircraft Propeller Repair Station operating in Alaska, making them uniquely qualified to provide these specialized services. Contractors who believe they can provide equivalent services must respond by July 14, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. EST via email to the designated contracting officer. To be eligible, firms must demonstrate their ability to provide FAA certified propeller repair station services for the specified aircraft types in Alaska. The government emphasizes that this notice is not a request for quotes, and the final decision to proceed with sole source procurement remains at the contracting officer's discretion.
