About this opportunity
The U.S. Air Force Academy's 10th Contracting Squadron issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source on July 17, 2026, for custom-fit football helmets and related equipment for the USAFA Prep School Athletics Program, with an anticipated award to Riddell All American Sports Corp. on or before July 31, 2026. The Air Force Academy determined Riddell the sole responsible source based on exclusive regional distributorship of the Axiom helmet line, proprietary 3D-scanning contour technology, factory-direct custom fabrication capability in Ohio, and NOCSAE certification requirements that would be voided if customized by unauthorized vendors. The requirement includes 63 Axiom custom-fit helmets, one InSite Analytics Standard + eSim package, one Riddell Sideline Device Kit, one Axiom MOX Box, and freight services. The contract falls below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and will be awarded as a firm fixed-price purchase order using FAR Part 12 simplified acquisition procedures without a formal solicitation.
Interested vendors may submit capability statements demonstrating why competition would be advantageous to the Government by 10:00 AM MDT on July 22, 2026, to marissa.morris.4@us.af.mil and danielle.hyde.2@us.af.mil. Respondents must maintain current SAM.gov registration.
