About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking to procure four F-16 Fuel Cells through a sole source contract with AllClear Aerospace & Defense, Inc. The procurement is for specific fuel cells with NSN 1560-01-322-9987 and Part Number 320-4-45550-105, which are critical components for maintaining F-16 aircraft operational capabilities. The solicitation (FA821225Q0004) is being conducted under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, which allows for a single source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. Interested parties may submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations for consideration. The response deadline is December 23, 2024, with an anticipated delivery date of January 10, 2025.
The contract is not designated as a small business set-aside and will be awarded to AllClear Aerospace & Defense, Inc., an authorized distributor of Meggitt, Inc., the original equipment manufacturer. The total estimated contract value is $240,000, with each fuel cell priced at $60,000. The place of performance is located at Hill Air Force Base in Utah, with F.O.B. Origin shipping terms to DLA Distribution Depot Hill. The procurement is driven by urgent operational needs, with the potential to prevent 37,979 Mission-Critical (MICAP) hours and 825.6 lost flying hours. AllClear can deliver the fuel cells within one week, significantly reducing the typical 47-week lead time for standard procurement processes. The contract includes specific requirements for packaging, quality assurance, item unique identification, and cybersecurity compliance.
