Notice of Intent to Award a Hubzone Sole Source Contract for Tetrad Services, Inc.

The U.S. Air Force, through the 354 Contracting Squadron at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, is awarding a sole-source HUBZone contract to Tetrad Services Inc. under FAR 6.302-5(b)(5) and FAR 19.1306(a), justifying the absence of full and open competition based on the contractor’s unique capability and historical performance. Tetrad Services Inc., a HUBZone-certified small business, is the only vendor with proven experience in repairing Turbine-Generator #4, having successfully completed four of the last five turbine contracts at the same facility, making it the sole responsible source capable of performing the work under site-specific constraints. The contract is valued at $3,903,774.16 under a firm-fixed-price structure, with the estimated cost validated by an Independent Government Estimate and historical pricing data. Work includes the complete teardown, inspection, cleaning, and repair of the 5 MW Worthington steam turbine and associated generator at the Central Heat and Power Plant, with the contractor required to produce detailed technical documentation of all procedures and findings. No competitive evaluation factors, weighting, or tradepoff analysis apply due to the non-competitive nature of the award. The place of performance is exclusively at Eielson AFB, Alaska, with no FOB terms or delivery schedule specified. The contracting officer, Darnell Holliman, and other designated officials have approved the justification after thorough market research confirming no other HUBZone firms can perform the work. Payment and invoicing details are not delineated, though WAWF is presumed as the standard DoD system. No COR or COTR has been assigned, and no specific inspections standards or technical specifications beyond historical compliance were cited. The award is documented through a Justification and Approval filing, with no additional contract clauses, packaging requirements, or special provisions identified beyond the statutory basis for sole-source selection.
