About this opportunity
The Nebraska Air National Guard (155th Air Refueling Wing) intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Improvised Electronics LLC for delivery of the USAF EOD Electronics Course-MTT (Mobile Training Team) to Nebraska Air National Guard Explosive Ordnance Disposal personnel, with responses due by July 12, 2026. This acquisition is being conducted as a commercial item acquisition using simplified procedures under FAR 12.102(a).
The Government justifies sole-source award on the grounds that Improvised Electronics' USAF EOD Electronics Course is a unique, proprietary offering combining fundamental electronics theory with specific application to Improvised Explosive Device (IED) circuits and methodologies. Market research indicates no other vendor offers a COTS curriculum with equivalent scope. The course relies on proprietary lab kits, the Ultimate EOD Electronics Reference Guide, and vendor-developed CAD files and source code that are integral to hands-on learning objectives and unavailable from other sources. Instructors possess a unique combination of field experience in military EOD operations and expert-level knowledge in electronics and circuit analysis not available from standard commercial electronics instructors.
This announcement constitutes the only notice of intent. Although the Government does not solicit competitive proposals, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation for consideration if received by the closing response date. The Government reserves the right not to compete the contract based on responses to this notice.
