About this opportunity
The 31 Contracting Squadron at Aviano Air Base, Italy, issued a Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source on May 14, 2026, identifying Smart Shooter, Inc. as the sole intended contractor for Smart Shooter SMASH 2000L Fire Control Systems (part number SHSMS3020) under FAR Part 12.102(a) Commercial Products acquisition. The contracting office has determined that Smart Shooter is the only source capable of providing the required system in compliance with technical specifications.
The justification for sole-source procurement rests on the system's unique technological capabilities and security approvals. The SMASH 2000L has been field-tested and approved by USAFE/AFRICA/A4S and is the only system implementing SmartShooter technology within USAFE. The system holds the only Counter Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) approval for Air Force Security Forces personnel under DAFMAN 31-131V2. Market research via Internet and previous vendor surveys confirmed no competing companies manufacture an equivalent system or the Air Force-approved M4A1 rifle attachment variant. The acquisition covers ten units, with optional spares and special test equipment (part number SHSPSET1) available for organizational-level maintenance support.
This notice is informational only and does not constitute a formal solicitation. Parties wishing to challenge the sole-source determination must submit clear, compelling, and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the Government in writing by May 25, 2026. Inquiries must be directed to Mr. Gualtiero Casadio (gualtiero.casadio.it@us.af.mil) or SSgt. Elysia King (elysia.king@us.af.mil).
