Intent to Sole Source- O2 Mask, Regulator, Helmet & Comm TS

The U.S. Navy’s Commander Fleet Readiness Centers (COMFRC) intends to award a sole‑source purchase order to Gentex Corporation for the production and delivery of O2 masks, regulators, helmets, and communications terminals (PN‑G006‑2300‑06) required for the KC‑130J aircraft program. Gentex is the only manufacturer with the proprietary design and technical data, making competition infeasible. While this is not a competitive solicitation, any responsible source may submit a capability statement within three days of the synopsis publication for the government’s consideration of a competitive procurement. The award will support the Fleet Readiness Center East’s common support equipment needs. • Sole‑source procurement of O2 mask sets for KC‑130J aircraft • Only Gentex Corporation (CAGE 60240) holds the proprietary rights and manufacturing capability • Capability statements accepted within three calendar days of posting (deadline not specified) • Point of contact: Melinda Bowen, U.S. Navy (email provided) • NAICS 334515 – Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical and Nautical Instruments Manufacturing
