AI Contract Overview

The 355th Contracting Squadron, acting for the Department of Defense at Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona, intends to issue a sole-source procurement action under solicitation FA487726QA236 for specialized parachute equipment. The required items include three TP-460 M3 9 Cell Main Canopies, one EZ-425 Control Line set, one TP-460 Complete Line Set, and 50 Closing Loop-Vector 3 Mains. This procurement is categorized under NAICS code 314999 and is being pursued as a non-competitive action because the required equipment must adhere to the Air Force Personnel Parachute Program Approved For Use List. The government has identified Complete Parachute Solutions, Inc. as the only responsible source capable of providing these specific systems, as they are the sole manufacturer of the authorized Tandem Phoenix and Special Operations Vector-3 Tandem Sigma series. This determination is based on safety regulations and training requirements mandated by AFI 10-3503, which restrict rescue operators to equipment for which they have received system-specific training. Interested parties were requested to provide capability information by September 7, 2026, to determine if a competitive procurement is feasible, though the final decision remains at the discretion of the government.

Full Description

The 355th Contracting Squadron intends to issue a sole-source procurement action for the procurement of the following items:

0001 TP-460 M3 9 Cell Main Canopy - 3 ea
0002 EZ-425 (VS-425) Control Line - 1 set
0003 TP-460 Complete Line Set - 1 set
0004 Closing Loop-Vector 3 Main - 50 ea

This requirement is accomplished in accordance with RFO Part 6.103-1(b) “One Responsible 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.

All interested parties must respond no later than 9/7/2026 at 10:30pm MDT to SrA Vincent Vito-Gamoras at email: vincent.vito_gamroas@us.af.mil or phone (520) 228-2213.

Information received will be reviewed solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement or not. The 355th Contracting Office will not reimburse parties for any costs connected with providing capability information.
