Oral Solicitation Notice_Purchase and Delivery of 18D00715 Vehicle Parts

The U.S. Department of Defense, through the 35th Contracting Squadron at Misawa Air Base in Japan, is preparing to award a firm fixed price contract below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold for the purchase and delivery of vehicle parts designated as 18D00715 to support seasonal maintenance of mission-critical snow removal equipment. This pre-solicitation notice, identified by solicitation number FA520526QB077 and NAICS code 336390, is issued under RFO 12.201-1(c)(2) and serves as an informational notice only—no responses or quotes are required at this stage. The procurement is driven by the operational necessity to ensure full readiness of the snow removal fleet prior to the winter season, with all parts required to be delivered no later than 45 calendar days after contract award to meet the annual maintenance window from April through October as mandated by 35 LRSI-OP 24-2. Delivery and acceptance will occur at Building 1310, Unit 5014, Misawa Air Base, Japan, with inspection and acceptance responsibilities falling to designated government personnel, primarily TSgt Finley and MSgt Oberschlake. The contract will be executed under a firm fixed price structure, reflecting the low-risk, straightforward nature of the acquisition, and has been preceded by informal vendor quotes confirming affordability. There are no specified packaging, marking, barcoding, or MIL-STD requirements outlined, nor are there any listed evaluation factors, payment office details, accounting lines, invoicing methods, or special contract clauses such as security clearances, options, or OCI provisions. All performance obligations are tied directly to the seasonal maintenance cycle and the timely availability of parts to sustain uninterrupted airfield operations during heavy snowfall periods.
