F-108 Cooler, Lubricating

The Department of Defense, through DLA Aviation at Oklahoma City, has initiated a fixed-price, sole-source acquisition for 26 F-108 Lubricating Coolers under solicitation SPRTA125C0056. The contract is awarded to MDF Technologies Inc., located in Carlsbad, California, as they are currently the only approved source capable of manufacturing the item. This procurement is classified under NAICS code 336412 and is being conducted as a justification for other than full and open competition. The decision to utilize a sole-source procurement is based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as the coolers are considered commercial off-the-shelf products and the technical data required for competitive bidding is not economically available. This determination follows a sources sought notice posted on April 4, 2024, which yielded no responses. The action is managed by the office at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma, with Jeremy Bryant serving as the primary point of contact.
