This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/RIKO) at 26 Electronic Parkway in Rome, NY. The contract is for qty. 4 replacement compressor adsorbers for existing cryostats, with a project/program name of "Cryostat Compressor Adsorbers". The government intends to negotiate a sole-source award with Bluefors Cryocooler Technologies, Inc., the sole-source provider of Cryomech branded compressor adsorbers.

The justification stems from the unique requirement that existing Cryomech branded compressors can only accept replacement adsorbers manufactured by the same original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Bluefors Cryocooler Technologies has acquired Cryomech and is the sole manufacturer and supplier of these replacement adsorbers. The total estimated contract value is less than $15,000, which exempts the procurement from a SAM.gov Notice of Proposed Contract Action (NOCA). The contract will be a new Firm Fixed Price (FFP) agreement, and the contracting officer has determined that a single source is reasonably available based on the specific technical constraints of the cryostat compressor systems.
