Intent to Sole Source: Aerostar Tri-layer Coveralls

The Department of the Air Force, specifically the 910th Contracting Flight at Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio, intends to award a sole-source purchase order to Aerostar International LLC for Tri-Layer Coveralls. The scope of the procurement requires providing these specialized coveralls, which are mandated by Air Force Technical Order 1-1-3 for all fuel handlers. The government justified the sole-source decision because market research and procurement attempts through the Defense Logistics Agency yielded only non-compliant two-piece substitutes, leaving Aerostar International as the only vendor capable of fulfilling the technical requirements. This acquisition is valued at $27,737.60, with an anticipated award date prior to September 30, 2026, and inquiries can be directed to the primary contact, Jasmine Corpa, at jasmine.corpa@us.af.mil.
