99 -- Miscellaneous Battlefield Airmen Equipment

The Aeronautical Systems Center, Battlefield Airmen Squadron (670th AESS), plans to award a contract for miscellaneous Battlefield Airmen equipment including items such as uniforms, knives, and tents. This procurement will be conducted on a competitive 8(a) basis and is intended to be awarded to Source One Distributors, Inc., a Small Business Administration-certified 8(a) HubZone entity that has been determined responsible to fulfill the contract. The contract number is FA8629-07-C-2375. Although this notice signals the government's intent to award, it is not a solicitation for competitive proposals. The contract will have an expected delivery timeframe of 60 days after receipt of order, emphasizing a relatively quick turnaround for the required equipment. The main points of contact for this action are Capt Devin D. Banks and Nancy G. Leggett, both contracting officers located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. This effort falls under NAICS code 315999, which involves miscellaneous apparel product manufacturing. The overall objective is to provide necessary battlefield equipment efficiently through a set-aside program supporting small disadvantaged businesses.
