About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center has awarded contract FA8117-26-D-B006 on a sole-source basis to Simmonds Precision Products Inc. for repair services of Liquid Quantity Indicators installed on C-130 aircraft, with an estimated contract value of $2,108,976.00.
The award is justified under 10 USC 3204(a)(1) on the basis that Simmonds Precision Products is the only known source capable of providing the required repair services. The contractor possesses exclusive access to repair procedures, parts, expertise, tools, test equipment, acceptance test procedures, theory of operation, assembly and disassembly procedures, material provisioning criteria, fault diagnostics, shop practices, and personnel training specific to Liquid Quantity Indicator repair. The Government conducted market research through a Sources Sought Synopsis posted September 9, 2024, which generated no competing responses, and pursued additional research including Parts Manufacturer Approval review, web searches, reverse engineering analysis, and attempted acquisition of intellectual property and data from the original equipment manufacturer, all without success. Award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays and potential Mission Incapable Awaiting Parts backlogs affecting C-130 mission capability. The period of performance runs one year with four one-year options, extending through July 31, 2031, covering 18–22 units annually across four National Stock Numbers. Place of performance is Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. The Competition Advocate approved the sole-source award on April 22, 2025.
