About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Space Command, specifically the 45th Contracting Squadron at Patrick Space Force Base, is seeking to procure a complete Skylotec Ship Boarding Kit for the 308th Rescue Squadron to support maritime rescue operations. This specialized equipment package includes a battery-operated winch (POA-012 TCX-II Seal Force), electric and manual telescoping poles (NEPTUNE 16M and NJORD 12M), a single Titan flat hook, and both wire and fiber ladders in 12-meter and 16-meter lengths. The procurement objective is to enable personnel to conduct efficient and secure vessel boarding in both training and operational scenarios. The government plans to purchase this as a brand name acquisition, with the contracting officer determining under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) that only Skylotec represents a reasonably available single source for this critical maritime rescue equipment due to its unique safety, interoperability, and mission-specific functionality. The due date for this pre-solicitation notice is July 28, 2025, with delivery required no later than October 15, 2025.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is structured as a single source acquisition with Skylotec identified as the sole manufacturer capable of providing the integrated system that meets the squadron's operational requirements. While the specific contract value has been redacted from the available documentation, the procurement is being processed under simplified acquisition procedures as indicated by the Single Source Justification document. The equipment comes with a one-year warranty, and the contractor will be responsible for all packaging, handling, and timely delivery to Patrick Space Force Base. The 308th Rescue Squadron will provide a loading area and forklift for receiving the complete kit, which represents a comprehensive solution for maritime boarding operations. The procurement falls under NAICS code 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing) and PSC code 2090 (Miscellaneous Ship and Marine Equipment), reflecting the specialized nature of this maritime rescue equipment.
