    Description

    The Department of the Interior, through its Acquisition Services Directorate, intends to award a sole-source contract to Cub Crafters, Inc. for the procurement of a new Lycoming O-360-C1G engine, specifically required for a Top Cub aircraft. This engine is critical for the Office of Aviation Services' operational capabilities, and Cub Crafters is the only vendor able to deliver the engine within the necessary timeframe, as other manufacturers have lead times exceeding 18 months. The urgency of this procurement is underscored by the engine's FAA approval and its compliance with the existing Type Certificate, which are essential for maintaining efficient government aviation operations. Interested parties who believe they can meet these requirements must respond by December 23, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. EST, via email to the primary contacts provided: Maya Maxies-Clemons at maya_maxies-clemons@ibc.doi.gov and Stephen Klier at stephen_klier@ibc.doi.gov.

    The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center has issued a Single Source Determination for the procurement of a new Lycoming O-360-C1G engine for its Office of Aviation Services (OAS), required for a Top Cub aircraft. Cub Crafters, Inc. is identified as the sole vendor, as they are the only source capable of providing the engine within a reasonable timeframe—unlike other manufacturers, whose lead times exceed 18 months. The urgency of the need stems from the essential role of the engine in maintaining OAS's operational capabilities. The engine's FAA approval and its alignment with the existing Type Certificate further reinforce the necessity for this particular product. A market research review confirms that no other suppliers are available to meet the critical deadlines, leading to the conclusion that a sole-source acquisition is justified. The intent to award this contract will be publicly announced on SAM.gov for potential alternative responses, but the pressing demand likely necessitates immediate action. This procurement underscores the importance of efficiency in government operations, particularly for aviation services critical to federal missions.
