100K PLANE SKATES AND C130 KITS

The contract pertains to the sole-source procurement of 100K PlaneSkates and C-130 Kits for the recovery of crash-damaged or disabled aircraft weighing up to 100,000 pounds, supporting real-world operations and USAF instructor courses under the CDDAR program. The equipment, manufactured exclusively by Disabled Aircraft Tools, LLC, is protected under U.S. Patent #12,103,708 B2, which establishes the sole legal source for these specialized systems with no commercially available alternatives. The procurement is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) due to patent exclusivity and proprietary design, eliminating competitive bidding, and no evaluation factors or trade-off analyses apply. Deliverables include seven units of 100K PlaneSkates (MFR PN: 9910), six units of C-130 Kits (MFR PN: 9902-2), and associated freight charges to Volk Field ANGB, with a total estimated value of $126,540 based on a prior contract award. The place of performance is Camp Douglas, Wisconsin, and the contracting office is W7N8 USPFO Activity Wiang CRTC. Packaging uses proprietary shipping crates, but specific MIL-STD, labeling, preservation, or inspection criteria are not defined beyond certification by Lockheed Engineers and operational use in Air Force training. The contractor holds no authorized resellers, and the acquisition does not require socioeconomic certifications, security clearances, or key personnel designations. Payment details, invoicing methods, contracting officer information, and formal compliance with packaging or marking standards are absent from the documentation, though cost reasonableness has been certified. Market research must be repeated biennially to reassess competition potential, and proprietary data must be redacted per FAR 5.401 and 24.1 in public disclosures.
