About this opportunity
The Maine Air National Guard Contracting Office at Bangor Air National Guard Base issued a notice of intent to award sole source to Setcan Corporation for StressVest compatible training equipment under FAR 12.102(a), with a response deadline of July 25, 2026. The acquisition covers non-projectile firearm tactical training system equipment and related stress vests. Setcan Corporation is identified as the only known authorized distributor capable of providing StressVest-compatible training aids. The sole source justification rests on the Air Force's four-year operational investment in the Setcan system, including trained and proficient personnel and established maintenance practices; transitioning to a competing system would create substantial cost duplication and require additional funding beyond current availability. This notice is informational only and does not constitute a formal solicitation. Parties asserting that competition would benefit the Government must submit written evidence demonstrating clear, compelling, and convincing competitive advantage; the Government retains sole discretion to pursue or reject competitive procurement. All inquiries must be submitted in writing to the contracting office; the interested party bears responsibility for timely receipt.
