This notice is set aside for total small business participation and pertains to a sole source procurement from Eaton Aeroquip LLC for specific commercial off-the-shelf components required for F-22 program testing. The procurement involves specialized coupling parts and adapters that are proprietary to Eaton Aeroquip, with no alternative sources available in the market. The contracting opportunity falls under NAICS code 332999 for All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing and PSC code 4730 for Hose, Pipe, Tube, Lubrication, and Railing Fittings. The notice was posted on July 10, 2025, providing contractors with information about this upcoming acquisition.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors about the Air Force's justification for conducting a sole source procurement of four specific components needed for F-22 Support Equipment testing at Hill Air Force Base.
