Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, specifically the 355th Civil Engineering Squadron, has issued a Special Notice indicating its intent to sole source the repair of a Hyundai HL960A wheel loader front loader to Bingham Equipment Company in Tucson, AZ. This action is justified under FAR 6.302-1, citing the government's lack of necessary data to procure the service from any source other than the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
Scope of Work
This notice pertains to the service and repair of a Hyundai HL960A wheel loader front loader. The specific requirement is for:
- CLIN 0001 - Front Loader Repair Service
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Special Notice (Intent to Sole Source)
- Set-Aside: None specified
- Published Date: April 29, 2026
- Response Due: April 30, 2026 (within 1 work day of publication)
Justification & Action Items
The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source, Bingham Equipment Company, due to the inability to provide data necessary to manufacture or procure the item from other sources. This is not a solicitation for competitive proposals, and quotes are not being accepted at this time.
All responsible sources are invited to identify their interest and provide capability statements in response to this notice. Responses received within 1 work day of the publication date will be considered. A determination by the Government not to compete based on these responses is solely at its discretion. Approval of a new source is required, but the 355 CONS will not delay award pending such approval, as the time required for approval typically prevents award delays.
