The Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center awarded a single award Indefinite Delivery Contract to Spectro Scientific Inc., a division of Ametek Inc., with a potential value of $39.8 million. Under this contract, Spectro Scientific developed and delivered an Expeditionary Fluid Analysis System (EFAS) through multiple firm fixed price delivery orders to support the Small Business Innovation Research Program Phase III Action. EFAS is a portable analytical device that enables expeditionary analysis of aircraft fluids to ensure airworthiness and mission readiness. Delivery orders were issued for research, development, and production of EFAS units over various periods of performance through March 2023 at Spectro Scientific's location in Chelmsford, Massachusetts. The original solicitation sought proposals to design, test, and produce 266 EFAS units over ten years to replace existing oil analysis systems across the Air Force fleet, with an estimated total contract value of $10 million.
The Air Force Materiel Command drives technological innovation and works with industry partners like Spectro Scientific to equip warfighters with capabilities needed to accomplish the Air Force's mission. Under this IDV contract and associated delivery orders, Spectro Scientific leveraged prior SBIR program work to further develop and field EFAS, fulfilling the Air Force's requirement for a modern portable fluid analysis system to support expeditionary operations and ensure airworthiness.
