About this opportunity
The Commander of Fleet Readiness Centers (COMFRC) Procurement Group at Patuxent River, Maryland, issued a Special Notice on February 10, 2026, announcing the intent to award a sole source Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Rhinestahl Corporation. This notice is published by the Department of Defense and pertains to the procurement of General Electric Corporation tooling, including fixtures and pullers, required for engine repair operations. Rhinestahl Corporation, identified by CAGE Code 5QE71 and based in Ohio, has been identified as the only reasonably available source for the specified tooling due to its status as the GE approved licensee. The anticipated contract period spans five years of performance. This Special Notice is not a request for competitive quotes but rather a notification of the Government's intent to proceed with a sole source award.
The primary objective of this procurement is to secure GE-approved tooling necessary to support COMFRC's engine repair operations on an as-needed basis. The deadline for submission of capability statements is three calendar days from the publication date of this notice, making the submission deadline February 13, 2026. All responsible sources are invited to submit capability statements, which will be reviewed solely to determine whether the Government should conduct a competitive procurement instead of proceeding with the sole source award. The final decision to compete or award on a sole source basis remains entirely within the Government's discretion. Contractors must be capable of providing GE-approved tooling and related services, though Rhinestahl Corporation's status as the sole GE licensee for this tooling effectively limits practical eligibility to this single vendor unless competing sources can demonstrate equivalent approval and capability.
