Notice of Intent to Sole Source Tower Escape System

Cannon AFB is sole-sourcing the procurement and installation of a High Rise Escape System for its Air Traffic Control Tower under Solicitation FA4855JR0002, with an estimated contract value of $188,641. The acquisition is justified under FAR 12.102(a) due to the exclusive suitability of High Rise Escape Systems’ equipment, which is the only system currently installed and operationally integrated across all USAF Air Traffic Control Towers, ensuring compatibility, standardized training, maintenance continuity, and risk mitigation. The period of performance is not explicitly delineated but is expected to follow contract award, with final delivery and installation to occur at Building 128, Air Traffic Control Tower, Cannon AFB, New Mexico, 88103. The procuring activity is the 27th Special Operations Contracting Squadron, and the point of contact is SrA Jeffery Reagan, who also signed the Determination and Findings on June 10, 2026, authorizing the non-competitive award. No set-asides or socioeconomic preferences apply, and the NAICS code 238190 indicates construction specialty trade contracting. While no detailed contract clauses, delivery schedules, packaging requirements, inspection criteria, or acceptance procedures are specified, the justification hinges on operational necessity rather than competitive evaluation, rendering the acquisition streamlined under simplified acquisition procedures. No subcontracting plans, small business certifications, UEI/CAGE data, or technical specifications beyond system compatibility are included, and no COR or COTR is named. Submission of proposals is due by July 8, 2026, and while the exact submission method is not defined, it aligns with standard DoD procurement protocols. Funding is provided by the Department of the Air Force under purchase request F1L1H86061AA01, with no option periods, FOB terms, or line-item details outlined.
