The Department of the Air Force, specifically the 633rd Contracting Squadron under Air Combat Command, intends to award a non-competitive, single-source purchase order to Air Ups LLC for an Aviation Fall Protection Bag. This acquisition supports the F-22 Raptor mission at the 1st Fighter Wing located at Langley AFB. The required item is a custom, aircraft-specific safety solution that is no longer in production, lacks a National Stock Number, and has no viable commercial substitutes identified through market research. This procurement is classified under NAICS code 326299 All Other Rubber Product Manufacturing and PSC 7810 ATHLETIC AND SPORTING EQUIPMENT, with an SBA SBA set-aside designation.
The primary place of performance for this requirement is Grassy Creek, Virginia. As this notice serves as a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial items, the government does not intend to issue a separate written solicitation. Air Ups LLC is identified as the sole responsible source capable of providing the tailored aviation safety solutions required for unique military operational needs. While this is a brand-name, single-source notice, the Air Force will consider capability statements from firms that provide clear evidence demonstrating their ability to meet the requirement and show that a competitive procurement would be advantageous to the government.
Responses to this notice, including firm overviews and past performance history, are due by May 27, 2026. Submissions must be directed to the designated points of contact, Margaret Young or Wesley Kuhlmann. The government will exercise sole discretion in determining whether the information received warrants a change to the current non-competitive procurement strategy.
