Advanced Processing Technology Inc., operating as Avpro, was awarded a $30,000 firm fixed-price purchase order by the NASA Shared Services Center on September 21, 2024, for Tenney autoclave hardware maintenance renewal services. The contract, which carries an ultimate completion date of September 20, 2025, will be performed in Norman, Oklahoma, where Avpro is based. This is a sole-source award with no small business set-aside designation, issued under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) following a Special Notice posted in June 2024 to gauge market interest. The procurement seeks commercial maintenance and support services for Tenney autoclaves, critical equipment used in composite materials research and spaceflight hardware testing across NASA facilities.
Avpro specializes in the repair, maintenance, and calibration of complex scientific equipment and has established itself as a trusted service provider for government research and development agencies, particularly NASA and the U.S. Army. The company's selection as the sole provider reflects its demonstrated expertise and proprietary maintenance methodologies for Tenney and TEC autoclaves at multiple research facilities, including NASA's Langley Research Center and various Army installations. This award aligns with Avpro's established contract history, which totals over $500,000 in recent years and comprises predominantly sole-source purchase orders for preventive maintenance, calibration, urgent repair services, and hardware support for precision laboratory equipment.
