About this opportunity
The 934th Contracting Office, Minneapolis Air Reserve Station, Minnesota, issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for REX Tool Cart Kits on September 11, 2026, with a response deadline of September 25, 2026. This sole-source award is justified under FAR 12.102(a) (Restricting Competition) and FAR 11.204(a)(1) (Items Peculiar to One Manufacturer); no competitive solicitation will be posted.
The procurement covers two units of the CTECH Manufacturing Model PC728442 Rapid Expeditionary Kit, an 84-inch portable expeditionary tool kit designed for C-130 aircraft maintenance. The Air Force determined that only one awardee can provide the supplies at the required quality level because the item combines integrated system design, specialized features for expeditionary use, D rings, built-in power and lighting, and solar generator capability necessary for austere environments in a manner no other commercially available product matches. The kit supports efficient aircraft maintenance operations in austere, decentralized, and forward-deployed environments.
Interested parties must submit written responses demonstrating capability to provide the commodities. Verbal responses are not acceptable. Submissions should support the offeror's capability to fulfill the requirement and be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government. The Government will use responses solely to determine whether conducting competitive procurement in the future is in the best interest of the Government. Responses and questions shall be emailed to jacquelyn.rodrigues@us.af.mil and mikkael.hahn.1@us.af.mil. The anticipated award date is August 25, 2026.
