309th AMXG Aerospace Coatings and Sealants

This is a presolicitation notice for commercial supplies as prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 5.207, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. There is only one responsible source and no other suppliers or services will satisfy the agency requirements, under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). All responsible sources may identify their interest and submit a capability statement or proposal which shall be considered by the agency, except foreign participation is not permitted. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and does not constitute a solicitation. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The U.S. Air Force has established a requirement for the solicitation and procurement of just in time delivery of aerospace coatings, sealants and technical assistance and support to 309 Aircraft Maintenance Group (AMXG) at Hill Air Force Base (AFB), Utah. The 309 AMXG supports the A-10, F-16, and C-130 airframes. This presoliciation notice for Other than Full and Open Competition under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 is justified based on Government market research. Market research revealed there is only one vendor authorized by all five manufacturers of the required military specification coatings and sealants to provide just-in-time delivery to Hill AFB. The Government intends to award this requirement as a noncompetitive contract action to Automotive Industrial Supply, 2507 South 1900 West, Ogden, UT 84401, United States (CAGE: 1FVZ3). This will be accomplished via a sole source contract. It is anticipated that a solicitation will be issued on or about December 22, 2015 and contract award will occur on approximately March 2016. The estimated period of performance is projected to be 12 months from contract award date. Delivery will be to 5894 A Lane, Building 220, Hill Air Force Base, Utah 84056. Respondents are requested to specify whether they are large business, small business, small disadvantaged business, 8(a) concern, women-owned SB, Hubzone SB, Veteran-owned SB, or Service-disabled veteran- owned SB, and whether U.S. or foreign-owned firm. Be advised that periodic access to the websites listed above is essential for obtaining updated documentation and the latest information regarding the procurement. Questions and comments should be emailed to points of contact indicated on this presolicitation notice.
