Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Homestead ARB

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District (USACE-LRL) has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for a repair and re-striping project at Homestead Air Reserve Base in Florida. This special notice, posted on October 24, 2025, indicates the agency's plan to solicit construction proposals with specific sole-source requirements. The procurement involves repair of an Aircraft Arresting System and associated runway work. The notice is classified under Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (NAICS 236220) and falls within the Repair or Alteration of Other Non-Building Facilities procurement service category. This announcement provides advance notification to the contracting community of the agency's intentions prior to formal solicitation.

The primary objective of this procurement is to restore functionality to the MB100.10C Textile Aircraft Arresting System (TAAS) at Homestead ARB through necessary repairs and facility improvements. USACE-LRL has determined that sole-source procurement is required for hardware kits manufactured exclusively by SAFRAN, as these components are specifically designed and engineered to integrate with the TAAS and are not available from alternative suppliers. The formal solicitation is expected to be released with a due date of November 10, 2025. While this notice represents an intent to sole source rather than a direct bid solicitation, contractors interested in participating should monitor the agency's procurement channels for the full contract announcement. No small business set-aside has been designated for this opportunity, meaning all eligible contractors meeting the technical requirements may participate in the competitive process once the formal solicitation is released.
