25-TEMS-019 MR Image Generator SSJ copy_Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) F-35 program, issued by the Air Force Test Center/Contracting Activity (AFTC/PZZG). The document details a sole-source contract with Aechelon Technology for MR Image Generator systems to support the 445th Test Squadron/EWJN IFAST Lab, with a total contract value that is redacted. The procurement includes two (2) 2U Workstation Image Generator nodes, each with two GPUs, local RAID storage, and specific channel configurations for Mixed Reality systems, along with systems engineering support services for 2025.

The justification for the single-source award stems from Aechelon being the sole provider of hardware and support systems required to maintain continuity across the 445 TS/EWJN IFAST Lab test environments. The contract aims to upgrade existing Image Generator systems to demonstrate current and future Virtual Reality/Mixed Reality capabilities, with no competitive alternatives available. The 445th TS/EWJN will post a Notice of Contract Action (NOCA) on SAM.gov to confirm no alternative sources exist, and the Contracting Officer has determined that a single source is reasonably available under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with the contract anticipated to be awarded on 21-Jul-2025.
