Description

The 145th Airlift Wing Contracting office intends to award a sole source to Marvel Aero International for the purchase of an automated aircraft battery management system.

Pursuant to the Air Force Technical Order, the ABMS-10X system is the only authorized remote control and battery management software suite qualified for the automated tracking, deep-discharging, and cell thermal runaway protection of aircraft batteries on Christie charger/analyzers.

As such competing this requirement on the open market is not reasonable.

All qualified sources must respond no later than the date and time specified under General Information within this special notice.

A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Responses should be emailed Attention MSgt Sarah Marshall at sarah.marshall.6@us.af.mil, AND Capt. Scott Thomas at scott.thomas.53@us.af.mil. No telephone or fax inquiries will be accepted.
