About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces is seeking to procure Reusable Energy Absorbing Layer (REAL) and Reusable Universal Skid Board (RUSB) systems to enhance Container Delivery System (CDS) airdrop operations. The procurement involves 15 units of specialized furniture systems (9 REALM12 + 3 REALM126 + 1 REALM06 + RUSB03 + Belt), 15 Lumin wire rod frame chairs, and one 3-day onboarding/training session for first-time customers. These USAF tested and approved systems offer enhanced durability, adaptability, improved dimensions, faster CDS bundle staging times, and War Reserve Materiel compliance to enable airlift squadrons to maintain currency and proficiency in training and mission objectives. The government will award to the responsible offeror whose quote is most advantageous considering technical capability and price, with no specified weighting between evaluation factors. Quotes are due August 13, 2025, and must be submitted via email to the designated contracting officer.
This procurement is designated as a Woman-Owned Small Business sole source acquisition under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Quality Research, Development & Consulting, INC. identified as the intended single source vendor. The contract award value has been redacted from the available documentation, though this appears to be a firm-fixed-price purchase order. Delivery is required within 60 days after contract award, with a maximum allowable delivery period of 90 days. The place of performance is Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and payment terms are Net 30 days unless alternative terms are proposed. The procurement falls under NAICS code 321920 (Wood Container and Pallet Manufacturing) with a 500-employee size standard, and the single source justification is based on USAF Aerial Delivery manager authorization limiting procurement to a single vendor for Unit Assembly Training loads within USAF operations.
