AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Air Force, through the 163rd Mission Support Contracting at March Air Reserve Base, California, intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to AAR Manufacturing, Inc. doing business as AAR Mobility Systems for the certified repair and maintenance of ISU® 90 (56000 Series) expeditionary containers. These containers require structural and airworthiness-certified repairs to components such as roof panels, floor assemblies, and cargo rails to restore them to Mission Capable status for airlift and helicopter sling-load operations. The contract is justified under FAR 12.102(1) due to AAR Mobility Systems’ unique status as the Original Equipment Manufacturer possessing the proprietary Level III Technical Data Package, which includes all engineering blueprints, structural tolerances, and certification data required to meet MIL-HDBK-1791 standards. No other entity has access to this data, and using any other repair provider would result in the permanent loss of critical airlift certification, rendering the containers unusable for their intended military missions. This acquisition is not competitive, but responsible sources may submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations by Monday, May 18, 2026, at 12:00 PM PST to be considered for potential future competitive procurements. The notice does not obligate the government to award a contract or conduct competition, and any submissions will be evaluated solely for future planning purposes. The contract will be executed under NAICS code 811310 and is managed by the Department of Defense via the W7MX Uspfo Activity Caang 163 office located in March ARB, California, with primary point of contact David Moreno at david.moreno.34@us.af.mil and secondary contact Jeremy Hebb at jeremy.hebb.2@us.af.mil. The place of performance is designated as Linda, California, with a solicitation number of W50S74-26-Q-A015.

Full Description
1. Agency and Contracting Activity
163rd Mission Support Contracting, March ARB, CA
2. Nature of the Action
The Government intends to award a firm-fixed-price, sole-source contract for the certified repair and maintenance of ISU® 90 (56000 Series) containers to AAR Manufacturing, Inc. (doing business as AAR Mobility Systems).
3. Authority
This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of RFO FAR 12.102.(1): "For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contracting Officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available."
4. Description of Requirement
The requirement is for specialized structural and airworthiness-certified repairs for the ISU® 90 (56000 Series) expeditionary containers. These units require repairs to [e.g., roof panels, floor assemblies, and cargo rails] to restore them to a "Mission Capable" status for airlift operations.
5. Justification for Sole Source
AAR Mobility Systems is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the ISU® 90 container and holds the proprietary Level III Technical Data Package (TDP). This data includes the engineering blueprints, structural tolerances, and airworthiness certification data required to perform repairs that comply with MIL-HDBK-1791 (Internal Air Transport) and helicopter sling-load requirements.
Market research has confirmed that AAR Mobility Systems has not sold or licensed this proprietary design data to any other commercial entity. Therefore, they are the only source capable of providing repairs that maintain the original airworthiness certifications. Failure to use the OEM for these structural repairs would result in the loss of airlift certification, rendering the units unusable for their intended mission.
6. Closing Statement/Submission Instructions
This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future.
Responses are due by: Monday, May 18, 2026, at 12:00 PM PST
