About this file
This is a Sole Source Justification document for a 450kV Multi-Anode Flash X-Ray System procurement by the Air Force Test Center (AFTC) at Arnold Air Force Base. The acquisition is for a single system with hardware, software, installation, and training, valued at approximately $3,600 for the base Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs). The system is critical for hypersonic testing, requiring a minimum interframe time of 3 microseconds and an exposure time of 500 nanoseconds or less. After market research, Hadland Imaging was determined to be the only vendor capable of meeting these specific technical requirements.
The document details a sole source justification under 10 USC 3204(a)(1) for direct negotiation with Hadland Imaging. Market research included querying the AbilityOne Procurement List and conducting a sources sought notice on SAM.gov from March 24 to April 7, 2025, which resulted in only Hadland responding. The procurement will be a firm-fixed-price purchase order with a 12-month delivery period, utilizing FAR subpart 13.5 and Part 12 procedures. The Air Force plans to continue monitoring flash x-ray technology advancements for potential alternative solutions in future acquisitions.
