About this opportunity
Air Force Space Command, through the 45th Contracting Squadron, announced a sole source procurement for parachute devices compliant with Air Force Special Operations Command's Safe to Fly Program, with responses due by July 12, 2026. Butler Parachute Systems, Inc. has been identified as the only source capable of supplying the required equipment. The procurement supports active para-rescue operations by the 920th Operations Support Squadron and covers seven units of Cypress Aircrew LLP parachute equipment (Part Number AAD2C2LPPL) at an estimated total value of $67,000. The justification for sole source award rests on 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) and FAR 11.204(a)(2)(ii) Brand Name authority; alternative items cannot be used operationally without undergoing AFSOC certification and STF list incorporation, a scope beyond this acquisition. Butler is the exclusive source of these mandatory STF-listed items and maintains no authorized resellers. The government invites interested parties to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations within 15 days of publication, though all response costs are the responsibility of the offeror. The Sole Source Justification document is available for review. NAICS code 314999 applies.
