About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command's 375th Contracting Squadron has issued a Special Notice announcing their intent to award a sole source purchase order to Select Fabricators Inc. of Victor, NY for 27 customized Radio Frequency (RF) Shielded Tents. The procurement is being conducted under FAR Subpart 13.5 simplified procedures for commercial items and is justified under FAR 6.302-1 as only one responsible source can meet the agency's requirements. The contract will support Air Mobility Command Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Force Elements by providing deployable communications solutions. This notice is posted for informational purposes only and is not a request for competitive quotations, as no formal solicitation will be issued.
The primary objective of this procurement is to acquire 27 TSCIF-compliant, portable, lightweight RF Shielded Tents capable of housing and protecting multi-domain communications equipment emissions for NIPR/SIPR/JWICS systems. The sole source justification is based on standardization requirements, as Select Fabricators Inc. previously provided 17 similar customized tents to AMC in 2024, and only they can meet the unique specifications required. Any organization believing they can meet these requirements must submit information by 1:00 PM ET on July 22, 2025, to the designated contracting personnel via email. The government retains sole discretion to determine whether to proceed with competitive procurement based on responses received. A Justification and Approval document is currently under review and will be posted once approved, while telephonic inquiries are strongly discouraged.
