About this opportunity
The U.S. Air Force 4th Contracting Squadron at Seymour Johnson AFB is seeking replacement parachute parts for T-11R parachute systems through solicitation FA480925Q0126. The procurement includes six line items of critical parachute components: packtray assemblies, ripcord assemblies, closing loops, extractors, bridle legs, and soft links, all requiring exact part numbers in accordance with Army Ground Safety Action Message 22-014 to prevent inadvertent parachute deployment. Offerors must provide National Stock Numbers and specific part numbers for each component, with parts limited to those on the Personal Parachute Program Authorized Use List from Mills Manufacturing and Performance Design Inc. The contract will be awarded using best value criteria considering price, delivery terms, technical acceptability, and past performance, with the government intending to award without discussions. The original response deadline of August 28, 2025, has been extended twice, with the final deadline now set for 12:00 PM EDT on September 17, 2025.
This procurement is designated as a set-aside for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), with interested parties required to be certified by the SBA in SAM per FAR requirements, though the opportunity summary also references a Total Small Business set-aside. The contract involves quantities ranging from 60 to 600 units per line item across the six parachute components, with firm fixed pricing structure. Performance will occur at Pope Army Airfield, North Carolina, with delivery required by October 22, 2025. The procurement is justified as a single source acquisition due to the highly regulated nature of parachute systems where specific parts must meet strict safety and compatibility requirements managed by Air Force Material Command. The solicitation operates under NAICS code 314999 for miscellaneous textile product mills, reflecting the specialized manufacturing nature of parachute components.
