The Department of the Air Force, specifically the 355th Contracting Squadron, has issued this special notice of intent to sole-source a procurement action for parachutes and related equipment to Complete Parachute Solutions, Inc. The requirement includes various quantities of Sabre 3 main canopies, 7-cell reserve canopies, Changeable Mode Cypres 2 1-pin units, and Vector 3 systems with full rigging, assembly, and packing services. Additional items include Tandem Phoenix series main canopies, control lines, and closing loops. This procurement is classified under NAICS 314999, All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills, and PSC 1670, Parachutes; Aerial Pick Up, Delivery, Recovery Systems; and Cargo Tie Down Equipment.
The justification for the sole-source award is based on Air Force Instruction 10-3503, which mandates that rescue operators only use equipment for which they have received system-specific training. The Air Force Personnel Parachute Program Approved For Use List (AUL) specifically identifies the Special Operations Vector-3 Tandem Sigma and Tandem Phoenix series as authorized systems. Complete Parachute Solutions, Inc. is the sole manufacturer of these approved items. The government intends to fulfill this requirement in accordance with FAR Part 13.501(a) regarding soliciting from a single source.
The place of performance for this action is Portland, Oregon, under the Small Business Administration (SBA) set-aside designation. Interested parties may submit capability information for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement, though the government maintains sole discretion regarding the competition of this requirement. All responses to solicitation number FA487726QA150 must be received by June 4, 2026.
