About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force's 377 Mission Support Group at Kirtland Air Force Base has issued a Special Notice announcing their intent to award a sole source purchase order to The Will-Burt Company for four MIL-STD 810 certified Heavy Duty Pneumatic Locking Masts. The procurement, valued at an undisclosed amount, is designed to support RF antennas in an upcoming test environment for the Joint National Warning Center (JNWC). The masts represent a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) product with specific requirements necessary for JNWC equipment to function at operational levels. The procurement will be conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures and Other Than Full and Open Competition authority. The anticipated contract award date is July 22, 2025, with a shipping deadline of August 2025.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to provide advance notification of the government's intent to proceed with a sole source award while simultaneously inviting other qualified vendors to demonstrate their capabilities. While this is not a competitive solicitation, interested parties who believe they can meet the requirements are invited to submit written information describing their ability to provide the specified pneumatic masts by the closing date of July 17, 2025, at 1400 Mountain Daylight Time. The government maintains sole discretion to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received. The procurement is set aside for total small business participation under NAICS code 334290 for Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing. The masts are needed to address equipment requirement shortages for an August event requiring additional antenna mounting capabilities beyond previous assessments, with the sole source justification based on Will-Burt's rapid deployable tactical solution capability.
