Notice of Intent to Sole-Source
Notice N68520-26-SIMACQ-JC00000-0186, a request for quotation, is being conducted under the authority of 10 U.S.C 3204(a)(c) and RFO FAR 6.103-2, as the requirement is estimated at $670, 208.00. The Government intends to award this sole-source contract to Dean Baldwin Painting, LP (CAGE 1UUU6) due to circumstances of unusual and compelling urgency.
Justification for Sole Source & Urgency:
Interim Capability Gaps: FRCE is currently constructing a new aircraft maintenance facility at Kinston Global Transpark (GTP), North Carolina. While FRCE Detachment Kinston will begin providing depot-level Planned Maintenance Interval (PMI) services for C/KC-130T aircraft in September 2026, the permanent aircraft paint facility construction is not estimated to be completed until mid-2027. This contract provides the critical, interim aircraft painting services required during construction.
Severe Fleet and Mission Impact: The C/KC-130T aircraft has a strict operational schedule. Delaying the strip and paint induction will prevent the aircraft-s return to the active fleet by the mandated June 2027 deadline. This would lead to a direct degradation of overall military mission readiness and reduced aircraft availability for global tasking.
Vendor Qualification: Dean Baldwin Painting, LP is the only identified source possessing the immediate facility capability, qualified capacity, and schedule availability required to meet this compressed and urgent timeline.
DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUIREMENT
The Department of the Navy, Fleet Readiness Center East (FRCE), intends to award a sole-source, standalone purchase order for the interim exterior de-painting and repainting of United States Navy (USN) C/KC-130T aircraft. This acquisition is set-aside for small business concerns and will receive a DPAS rating of DO-C9.
