The Department of the Air Force, 17th Contracting Squadron, Goodfellow Air Force Base, Texas, issued a special notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source, firm fixed-price contract to Action Target Inc. for the replacement of the 17 SFS CATM target retrieval system. This system, originally installed in 2009, requires replacement in accordance with UFC 4.179-02 SMALL ARMS RANGES. Action Target Inc. is justified as the sole source due to their unique qualifications as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with proprietary knowledge of the integrated firing range system, control software, and safety interlocks. They have also been the incumbent maintenance provider since 2008 and hold the current contract until 2027. The acquisition is a follow-on upgrade to highly specialized, proprietary equipment, and using another source would void the government's warranty. The government intends to negotiate directly with Action Target Inc. under RFO 6.103-1 and 10 U.S.C 3204(a)(1). While this is not a competitive solicitation, interested parties who can provide the product without compromising the required criteria may submit a statement of capabilities, including manufacturer authorization and a price list, by July 3, 2026, 1300 (CDT) to SrA Eva Myers or SrA Mouhamed Sarr. The government will consider these statements to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. The place of performance is the 17 SFS CATM indoor firing range at building 3405 on Goodfellow AFB, TX.

The 17th Contracting Squadron/PKB is seeking a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract with Action Target for a complete upgrade of the indoor firing range target retrieval system at Goodfellow AFB. Action Target, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and incumbent maintenance provider, possesses proprietary knowledge of the existing integrated system. Awarding to another vendor would void warranties, duplicate costs, and cause unacceptable delays. Market research confirmed no other responsive sources meet the technical requirements. This OEM upgrade path saves significant costs, avoids additional annual maintenance burdens, and reduces mission-critical downtime. The government has a 15-year successful relationship with Action Target, solidifying their unique qualifications and the necessity of this sole-source award.
