AI Contract Overview

The 355th Contracting Squadron plans to issue a sole-source procurement for various parachute systems and related equipment, including multiple models of SABRE parachutes, reserve canopies, changeable mode CYPRES units, VECTOR 3 systems, and associated rigging, assembly, packing, and shipping services. This procurement aligns with FAR Part 13.501(a) for single-source solicitation and addresses specific needs outlined in Air Force instructions that require personnel parachute operations to use only approved equipment listed on the Air Force Personnel Parachute Program's Approved For Use List.

Interested parties are invited to respond by June 4, 2026, to assist the government in determining whether to proceed with a competitive procurement, although the government retains full discretion to move forward with sole sourcing regardless of responses.

This requirement is accomplished in accordance with FAR Part 13.501(a) “Soliciting from a single source”. In accordance with AFI 10-3503, Personnel Parachute Operations, rescue operators are required to wear parachute risers, drogues and airbags as part of free-fall jumps, and per AFI 10-3503 Chapter 9, 9.1.1.3, USAF parachutists will only use the equipment for which they have received system-specific training. An Approved For Use List exists that is signed by the AF Personnel Parachute Program Manager. The Air Force Personnel Parachute Program (PPP) Approved For Use List (AUL) specifically identifies the SPECIAL OPERATIONS VECTOR-3 TANDEM SIGMA (SOV-TS), MAIN , SPECIAL OPERATIONS VECTOR-3 TANDEM SIGMA (SOV3-TS), RESERVE , and TANDEM PHOENIX (TP) SERIES as authorized parachute systems to be worn by rescue operators. These parachute systems are manufactured and sold by Complete Parachute Solutions, INC (CPS). Since the AUL exists that mandates specific items that are certified for use by the Air Force and only one company manufactures the approved items, the requirement is intended to be Sole Sourced to COMPLETE PARACHUTE SOLUTIONS, INC.
