Notice Of Intent To Sole Source - LRS Bus Engine Repair Service

Was der Auftraggeber sucht

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS/QUOTES The 97th CON Squadron at Altus, OK 73523 intends to solicit and negotiate a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract for the acquisition of bus engine repair. The 97th Contracting Squadron intends to make award this contract to RUSH TRUCK CENTERS OF TEXAS, LP (CAGE: 99MX9). This acquisition is being conducted as a noncompetitive contract action under the authority of Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Overhaul (RFO) 6.103-1: "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements". The 97 LRS/LGRV requires the complete replacement of a failed 8.3L L6 Cummins ISC diesel engine on a government-owned 2009 Bluebird Bus. This specialized vehicle is a critical "1-of-1" asset utilized on Altus AFB for flightline aircrew transport, off-base logistical missions, and military Commercial Driver's License (CDL) training. The vehicle suffered catastrophic internal engine failure during transit and is currently inoperable, occupying space at the Rush Truck Centers facility. In accordance with RFO 6.103-1 the Government has restricted competition due to severe logistical and cost constraints. Because the vehicle is entirely non-operational, soliciting competition from alternative regional mechanics is highly impractical. Transporting the bus would force the Government to incur immediate, non-recoverable heavy-duty towing expenses and redundant diagnostic teardown fees at a secondary facility, directly offsetting any potential savings from competition. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for the requirement. Sources interested in responding to this notice are required to submit a capability statement that includes technical data and cost information, sufficient detail and with convincing evidence that clearly demonstrates the capability to meet the requirement. Requests for documentation, additional information, or submissions that only ask questions will not be considered as an affirmative response. A determination by the Government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement or to proceed with a single source procurement. Capability statements are due on 09/29/2026 by 10:00 AM CST. Capability statements shall be submitted by email ONLY as a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF attachment to phillip.chambers.4@us.af.mil and ryan.lafever.2@us.af.mil. Capability statements and supporting documentation provided after the due date listed above will not be reviewed. Please see attached Single Source Justification for further information.
