Notice of intent to solicit/award sole source - trimble INC.

The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces, through the 356th Expeditionary Theater Support Group / Contracting Squadron at Anderson AFB, Guam, has issued a notice of intent to award a sole source contract to Trimble Inc. of Dayton, Ohio. This special notice, reference number FA502525QB019, is not a request for competitive proposals but rather an announcement of the government's intention to award a contract under the authority that only one responsible source can satisfy the agency's requirements. The contract pertains to training services for the 513th Expeditionary Red Horse Squadron (ERHS) at Tinian, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The notice emphasizes that while the government intends to negotiate with only Trimble Inc., other responsible sources may still submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations for consideration. However, any decision to make this a competitive procurement based on responses remains solely at the government's discretion.

The purpose of this sole source contract is to provide comprehensive training on Trimble 3D and 2D machine control systems for up to 20 Air Force personnel with no prior operational experience with these systems. The training program is scheduled for October 20-24, 2025, at North Field, Tinian, and must cover hands-on instruction for 3D Dozer, 3D Grader, and 2D Paver equipment, including system setup, calibration, operation, troubleshooting, and maintenance. Contractors interested in responding must submit their materials by September 26, 2025, by 5:00 PM CST to SSgt Eric D. Oliver, the designated Contracting Officer. The training must be delivered by an OEM-certified Trimble instructor, and all participants are expected to demonstrate proficiency in system operations by the program's completion. This training initiative aims to enhance the operational capabilities of the Red Horse Squadron in utilizing advanced construction and engineering equipment control systems.
