AI Contract Overview
The United States Air Force Test Center/Directorate of Contracting at Edwards Air Force Base intends to award a single-source contract to Marvel Aero International Inc. for the upgrade of the Aircraft Battery Management System hardware and software to the ABMS-10X standard. This action is justified under RFO 6.103-1(b) as Marvel Aero is the only responsible source capable of meeting the requirement due to its proprietary software architecture, necessity to interface with existing branded charging hardware, and the significant safety and warranty risks associated with using uncertified third-party components. The procurement falls under NAICS code 335999 with a size standard of 600 employees, and no competition is being sought because alternative solutions would result in incompatible equipment and compromise operational integrity. This notice is a presolicitation and serves solely as an informational courtesy with no binding obligation on the Government. Respondents may submit feedback or questions by the deadline of August 1, 2026, exclusively via email to the designated points of contact; no telephone responses will be accepted. All submissions are voluntary, and respondents are advised to provide only non-proprietary information unless clearly marked as proprietary, which will be protected from disclosure. The Government reserves the right to use any submitted information for evaluation purposes without obligation to provide feedback or reimburse costs. No classified material is permitted, and by submitting information, respondents consent to its review by Government personnel. The contract will not be open to competition, and no set-aside provisions apply.

This is NOT a request for proposals, applications, proposal abstracts, or quotation. This courtesy presolicitation notice shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Government. Further, the Government will NOT be responsible nor reimburse any submitters of information for any cost incurred in furnishing this information.

ACTION:
The United States Air Force Test Center/Directorate of Contracting (AFTC/PZIOB) Edwards AFB, CA, intends to award a single source contract to Marvel Aero International Inc. in order to upgrade Aircraft Battery Management System (ABMS) hardware and software to a station ABMS-10X. The applicable NAICS code is 335999 (All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing) with a size standard of 600 employees.
JUSTIFICATION:
The Government intends to solicit with only one source under the authority of RFO 6.103-1(b), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, which states, “Agencies may contract without providing for full and open competition when the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirement." This authority is further supported by an approved Single Source Justification. This justification is based on the proprietary software architecture, the requirement to interface with existing branded charging hardware, and the severe safety/warranty risks of utilizing uncertified third-party controllers. As a result, Marvel Aero International Inc. is the only responsible source capable of satisfying the agency's requirements. Procuring this system through full and open competition would not be in the best interest of the Government and would result in the acquisition of incompatible equipment.
