Air Mobility Command awarded a $27.7K firm fixed-price purchase order to Petroleum Analyzer Co L.P. (doing business as Pac) on September 15, 2025, for a one-year Preventative Maintenance Agreement with an ultimate completion date of September 14, 2026. The contract covers maintenance services for six specialized analytical instruments at the Aerospace Fuels Laboratory located at Vandenberg Space Force Base in Lompoc, California. The required equipment includes OptiDist, JFTOT 230 Mark IV, Phase-70XI-OS, Phase-70XIAS-OS, ISL PMD 110, and OptiPMD units. The maintenance agreement includes one annual preventative maintenance visit, telephone support, equipment inspection, calibration, and parts replacement. No set-aside designation was applied to this procurement.
This was a sole-source award executed under 10 USC 2304(c)(1) statutory authority, with Pac determined to be the only capable source due to their status as the original equipment manufacturer with exclusive access to proprietary software, factory-trained technicians, and specialized component parts. Pac, a Houston-based subsidiary of Roper Technologies, Inc., has over two decades of federal contracting experience and maintains an active SAM.gov registration. The company has established a significant track record serving the Department of Defense through specialized petroleum analysis equipment and maintenance services across multiple military installations, making it well-positioned to support the Air Force's critical fuel and lubricant testing capabilities required for launch and fuels management operations at Vandenberg Space Force Base.
