Sole Source Notice

The U.S. Department of Defense, through the NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk Office, intends to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to Air Rescue Systems under FAR 6.302-1, citing unique circumstances that justify non-competitive procurement. This action is not a solicitation for bids or proposals, but a notice of intent that allows interested parties to submit written challenges by the deadline of July 15, 2026, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time. Any challenge must provide sufficient evidence that an equivalent service capable of meeting the government's requirements is available from another source, enabling the government to assess whether competition is feasible. The decision to proceed without competition remains entirely at the government's discretion, regardless of any submissions received. The contract, identified by solicitation number 1301363478, falls under NAICS code 611699 and will be performed in Norfolk, Virginia, with primary point of contact information provided for inquiries and submissions.
