Notice of Intent to Sole Source RT3 Friction Measuring Equipment

The Department of Defense’s National Guard Bureau plans to award a sole source contract to Halliday Technologies, Inc. for the RT3 Runway Friction Testing equipment under statutory authority allowing for procurement from only one responsible source. This contract will be a Firm-Fixed-Price agreement facilitated by the 173rd Mission Support Contracting office. The procurement is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 334519, reflecting specialized equipment needs for runway surface assessment at the location in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Although this notice signals intent to award without competition, other responsible sources may submit capability statements or proposals by June 19, 2026, for consideration, but the government maintains full discretion regarding whether to proceed with a competitive process. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their responses electronically, referencing Notice ID W50S8Z26QA026, understanding that the government is not liable for any costs incurred through these submissions. The primary contacts for this notice are Jason Rice and Daniel Wehnes, available to provide further information as needed. This action conforms to Federal Acquisition Regulation guidelines, specifically FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), which permits sole source acquisitions when no other supplies or services will satisfy requirements. The award is part of a targeted effort to quickly secure critical runway friction testing equipment essential for safety and operational readiness.
