Third Party Equipment Purchasing (3PEP) Total Small Business Set-Aside

The Third Party Equipment Purchasing (3PEP) program consists of multiple award IDIQ contracts, specifically FA8517-22-D-0009, 0012, and 0013, managed by the Department of the Air Force AFSC PZAAC at Robins Air Force Base. This initiative is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 336413, designed to enhance competition and small business participation in the procurement of aircraft maintenance and ground handling equipment. The government has designated ATAP Inc., BONEAL Inc., and F3 Logistics LLC as the three awarded prime contract holders. These are mandatory use strategic contracts, meaning interested manufacturers and suppliers must provide their quotes directly to the three prime contractors rather than to the government. To facilitate this process, the agency has published the initial CY23 Price List 1, which details the specific National Stock Numbers, part numbers, and projected quantities required. The program focuses on streamlining the acquisition of support equipment through these designated third-party providers to ensure efficient supply chain management.
