The Department of War, through the AFTC/PZZG contracting office, is seeking the procurement of CST Parachutist Oxygen Systems for Edwards Air Force Base. This requirement specifically covers Eaton PHANTOM Parachutist Oxygen Mask Assemblies, including ground boosters, microphones, gaskets, and associated accessories. These systems are critical life-support equipment used for high-altitude military free-fall and static-line parachuting operations in environments reaching 35,000+ feet MSL. Due to the extreme safety risks associated with hypoxia and operational failure, the government intends to negotiate on a sole-source basis with Mission Systems Orchard Park Inc (Eaton Corporation), as they are the only provider certified on the USAF Personnel Parachute Program Approved For Use List in accordance with Air Force Instruction 10-3503. The solicitation is issued as a combined synopsis and notice of intent for commercial products under NAICS code 336413. The procurement is unrestricted, and the delivery terms are set as FOB Destination. Payments will be processed electronically via the Wide Area WorkFlow system. Interested parties must submit capability statements or quotations by September 15, 2026, although the government maintains the discretion to proceed with the sole-source award based on the critical safety certifications required for the PHANTOM system. The acquisition incorporates standard FAR and DFARS clauses for commercial items, including specific requirements for system registration and the prohibition of certain internal confidentiality agreements.

Description of Requirement 


This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products or commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Subpart 12.2, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.


The Department of War (DoW) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with MISSION SYSTEMS ORCHARD PARK INC (Legal Business Name: Eaton Corporation) for the procurement of Parachutist Oxygen Systems at Edwards AFB.




Notice of Intent to Sole Source 


Subject


Description


Statutory Authority


10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by RFO 6.103-1


Justification


In accordance with Air Force Instruction (AFI) 10-3503 (Personnel Parachute Program) and the authoritative policy memorandum issued by the Air Force Personnel Parachute Program (PPP) Office, Air Force personnel are strictly restricted to utilizing parachutist life-support equipment formally approved and published on the USAF PPP Approved For Use List (AUL).
 
Only the Eaton PHANTOM Parachutist Oxygen Mask Assemblies, ground booster, and associated accessories are explicitly certified on the PPP AUL as authorized equipment for high-altitude military free-fall and static-line parachuting operations.
Parachutist oxygen systems are critical life-support apparatuses operated in extreme, life-threatening high-altitude environments (up to 35,000+ ft MSL) where equipment malfunction or non-standard oxygen delivery rates result in rapid hypoxia, operational failure, severe injury, or death. Sourcing alternative commercial systems that lack formal PPP AUL certification violates Air Force safety policy and introduces unacceptable mission and life-safety risks.


Scope of Work


The contractor shall provide specified items in the Statement of Requirements


Market Research


The end users searched GSA for oxygen resulting in a singular retailer-Eaton. However, the required oxygen system parts do not appear on GSA. The contracting office then verified information provided by USAF SOCOM and found only Cobham items are approved, however Cobham was bought out by Eaton Corporation. FPDS-NG was searched for similar requirements utilizing the entity's UEI "JAGFLJSK5229" A few similar requirements for Phantom Oxygen systems were found. W911QY26FA132 in particular was similar in nature and value. The SME's were asked to provide the letter from USAF SOCOM and the source list was attached to the letter.



Instructions to Interested Parties 


This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.


Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.

URC-300 VHF/UHF Transceiver Assembly and Remote Control Unit (RCU)
Solicitation # ACQ-26-H096
The Department of the Air Force, through the Air Force Test Center (AFTC/PZZF) at Edwards AFB, intends to award a sole-source, Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order to ACG Systems, Inc. under solicitation ACQ-26-H096. This procurement is for one URC-300 VHF/UHF Transceiver Assembly and ten associated auxiliary components, including a Remote Control Unit (RCU), mounting brackets, antennas, and cabling. The equipment is required to expand the capabilities of the Mobile Telemetry Van supporting the B-52 Commercial Engine Replacement Program (CERP) and must integrate with the proprietary CM-350 V2 control protocols. The government has determined that ACG Systems, Inc. is the only responsible source capable of satisfying the requirement because they are the original equipment manufacturer and the hardware must meet mandatory military TEMPEST and EMI shielding standards for classified and unclassified operations. Utilizing non-ACG hardware would result in significant duplication of costs and cause a critical six-to-nine-month delay due to mandatory recertification, which would threaten B-52 engine replacement timelines and operational readiness targets. The award is based on the vendor's unique technical compatibility and the determination that the pricing is fair and reasonable based on historical data from previous contract FA9302-22-F-G596.
