Solicitation # FA875126Q0892

The Department of Defense is issuing a Notice of Proposed Contract Action for the procurement of two specific FiberLabs optical amplifiers. The requirement includes one Bench-Top O-band Optical Amplifier (Part # AMP-FL8612-OB-23) and one Bench-Top C+L-band Optical Amplifier (Part # AMP-FL8021-CLB-22). The government intends to negotiate a sole-source award with Ogmentum, Inc., the exclusive North American distributor for FiberLabs, as market research indicated other vendors could not meet the essential technical specifications for output, gain, and noise figures. This action falls under NAICS code 334290 and is not a request for quotations. While the government intends to proceed with a sole-source award, responsible sources may submit capability statements or proposals to demonstrate that competition would be advantageous. All inquiries should be directed to Cody Owens, with the anticipated award date scheduled on or before September 30, 2026.

Eaton UPS Healthcheck Recertification

Solicitation # FA875126Q0932

The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory at the Rome Research Site in New York is proposing a sole source contract with Eaton Corporation to perform comprehensive maintenance and recertification services on a B2 Eaton UPS system with serial number EG431CBC10. The scope of work includes full recertification by an Eaton service engineer, replacement of all 40 aging batteries from 2015 with new PWHR12540W4FR model batteries, replacement of unit capacitors using full pan assemblies to ensure reliability and minimize downtime, and a complete fan system upgrade. The contractor will also conduct start-up procedures, remove and dispose of old lead-acid batteries in compliance with EPA regulations, and provide a three-year parts and labor warranty. A contingency line item of $3,000 is included for possible replacement of critical circuit boards—Control PCB, Interface PCB, and Mini-CSB—if found defective during start-up. All services must be performed by Eaton-certified personnel due to proprietary diagnostics, software, and design constraints that void warranties if worked on by unauthorized providers. The government has determined that Eaton is the only qualified source capable of fulfilling these requirements because it is the original equipment manufacturer, and no other provider has the technical authorization, proprietary access, or certification to perform services on this system without voiding warranties or compromising mission-critical operations. The UPS system supports classified computing infrastructure, secure communications, and continuous network operations essential to Air Force and multi-domain mission partners, making 24/7 reliability non-negotiable. This notice is not a solicitation for bids, but a presolicitation to allow responsible parties to submit capability statements, which will be evaluated solely to determine if competition is beneficial. Responses are due by August 13, 2026, and the government anticipates awarding the contract on or before August 31, 2026. The procurement is classified as a sole source with a NAICS code of 811310 and a small business size standard of $12.5 million in annual receipts. All work will be performed at the Rome Research Site, and freight for new components is prepaid to the delivery point.

As a subcontract, this opportunity is tied to a larger defense contract where the prime contractor requires qualified, vetted partners to execute critical logistics functions. The posting date of July 2026 suggests active procurement planning, and the absence of a solicitation number indicates it may be part of a pre-qualified or ongoing framework agreement. Performance is localized to Rome, NY, which is a known hub for defense research, reinforcing the sensitivity and importance of the equipment being delivered.
