About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces has published a Special Notice to announce its intent to award a sole source contract for the replacement of an elevator inverter (P/N: AAA21290CK4) at Kadena Air Base. The contracting activity, the 18th Contracting Squadron, has determined that OTIS (Nippon Otis Elevator Company) is the only reasonably available source that can meet the requirements of this procurement.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to provide public notice of the government's intent to award a sole source contract in accordance with FAR 13.501(a)(i). The notice is not a request for competitive quotes, but the government will consider any quotes received by the due date of June 23, 2024, 1100 JST. The justification for the sole source award states that OTIS elevators are designed to only work with OTIS inverters, and using a non-OTIS brand would require additional replacement of the signal program board, leading to unnecessary costs. The contracting officer has determined that only a single source, OTIS, is reasonably available to fulfill this requirement. Future elevator inverter purchases will be subject to market research and sources sought to gauge new market capabilities.
