Some details are in the notice's attachments, which this summary didn't read. Check the attachments on SAM.gov.
Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (Patuxent River, MD) plans a firm-fixed-price purchase order for Colibrium GEM2 maintenance, and intends to award it on a sole source basis to Colibrium Additive. Other vendors can send quotes, but the notice says the intent is to sole source.
Watch out for
- Intent to sole source. The Government plans to award to Colibrium Additive, so a small business has little chance of winning unless it is an authorized distributor.
Solicitation N00421-26-Q-1350 is issued with intent to sole source.
- Authorized distributor proof required. You must show signed documentation from the manufacturer side, which excludes most general maintenance vendors.
YOU MUST SUBMIT SIGNED DOCUMENTATION VERIFYING YOU ARE AN AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOR
- Short quote window and conflicting dates. The text says quotes are due 18 September 2026, while the SAM deadline field shows 2027-09-18, so confirm the real due date with the contact.
All interested parties MUST submit a quote no later than 18 September 2026 at 07:00am Eastern Standard Time.
