The Department of War intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with FXC Corporation for the procurement of six FXC Parachute Canopy Dereefer units, Model DM-500, Part Number 811-00289-4. This item is the only USAF-authorized model for the associated cargo parachute maintenance manual, and FXC is the original equipment manufacturer. The agency conducted market research and determined that an alternative reseller cannot currently supply the item and is not authorized to do so, leaving FXC as the sole source. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals, but responsible sources may submit a capability statement for consideration. No budget or performance location is specified.
