Flight Breathing Awareness Trainer (FBAT) Maintenance Parts

This contract is a sole source acquisition for a one-time purchase of preventative maintenance parts to sustain 35 Flight Breathing Awareness Trainers (FBATs) across eight Aviation Survival Training Centers, primarily located in Pensacola, Florida. The sole contractor, On-Demand Systems LLC, is the only authorized source for these parts due to proprietary technology and exclusive intellectual property rights, which prevent full and open competition. The parts are designated as direct replacements that must strictly adhere to form, fit, and function requirements outlined in the FBAT Maintenance Manual 4773507 and undergo extensive testing to meet the manufacturer’s exacting standards. The contractor is responsible for kitting the parts according to annual preventive maintenance cycles, ensuring alignment with operational schedules at each training center. The total contract value is $56,903.64, with no line-item breakdowns, options, or recurring funding identified. Delivery is expected to occur at the ASTCs in Pensacola, Florida, following award on or before July 30, 2026, with the contracting office based in Norfolk, Virginia. Packaging and labeling require the contractor’s CAGE code (8PHF0) and manufacturer identification but without specified MIL-STD or detailed preservation methods. The procurement relies on FAR 6.302-1 and FAR 13.501(a) for sole source justification, with no formal evaluation factors, cost analysis, or inspection procedures beyond verification of compatibility and authorization. The government retains oversight for acceptance, though no Contracting Officer’s Representative is named, and invoicing details or payment instructions are not provided. The acquisition replaces prior use of the Governmentwide Commercial Purchase Card, aiming to ensure uninterrupted availability of critical maintenance components for aviation survival training readiness.
