Shot Peen Machines RM/PM

The Air Force Sustainment Center, under the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command, has issued a Special Notice regarding a sole source contract for shot peen machine maintenance services. This Special Notice, posted on February 18, 2026, announces the Air Force's intention to award a Firm Fixed Price contract to Progressive Surface Inc., the original equipment manufacturer of the shot peen machines used at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. The contract will be awarded under simplified procedures for commercial items in accordance with FAR 12.201-1 and will cover preventative and remedial maintenance services for the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex. The contract period is scheduled to commence on May 1, 2026, or earlier, and continue through March 31, 2031. This sole source acquisition was justified based on market research confirming that Progressive Surface Inc. is the only qualified source capable of providing these specialized services.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to notify potential contractors and interested parties of the Air Force's decision to pursue a sole source award for shot peen machine maintenance, with an estimated total contract value of $650,702 over the base year plus four one-year options and a potential six-month extension. Market research established that Progressive Surface Inc. does not authorize third-party service providers and refuses to sell data rights to the government, making them the sole qualified source under the specified technical requirements. Contractors seeking to engage with the government must maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) with a unique CAGE Code, as required by FAR 4.203-1(b). The acquisition falls under NAICS code 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance) with a size standard of $12.5 million. This sole source justification has been coordinated and is awaiting final approval from the Chief of the Contracting Office before contract award.
