Background This solicitation FA483026Q0041 is issued by the United States Air Force, specifically for the procurement of CYPRES Units and Equipment. The acquisition is aimed at ensuring compatibility and interoperability with existing mission-critical parachute systems used by the Air Force. The contract is 100% set-aside for small business concerns. Work Details The following items are required under this contract: - Line item 0001: EC CYPRES-2 1-Pin Changeable (6 EA) - Line item 0002: EC CYPRES Data Collector (2 EA) - Line item 0003: EC CYPRES IR Remote (2 EA) These items are specified as brand name to ensure they meet the operational requirements of the Air Force Personnel Parachute Program. Period of Performance The geographic location(s) the product will be delivered to or performed at Place of Performance Moody Air Force Base (AFB) Bidder Requirements Offerors must quote all items listed in Section II. This opportunity is a Small Business Set Aside - Total (SBA). Offerors must be authorized distributors or manufacturers of the specified brand name items to ensure compliance with compatibility standards. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a closely related prior contract with Complete Parachute Solutions under FA487723P0179 (09/27/23–07/03/24) valued at $124,970. That prior award included brand name parachute system components and specifically referenced CYPRES Expert 2 1-pin with assembly, which aligns with the current requirement for CYPRES units/equipment (including a CYPRES-2 1-pin changeable). The overlap in CYPRES brand-name hardware and configuration suggests the current buy may be a continuation of supplying compatible CYPRES components for the Air Force parachute program.
