This is a Determination & Findings document for a single-source contract award by the Air Force Technical Center (AFTC/PZZF). The contracting action authorizes a firm fixed price purchase order award valued at $49,238.47 for equipment and services supporting Printed Circuit Board (PCB) build-up and rework operations in the SIDEC Laboratory.

The required deliverables include one PDR-IRE3 E3 Simple Rework Station, one DELL All In One Computer with 23.8" touch screen monitor (including 2-year warranty), one PDR-SUPPORT4H Four Hour Phone or Remote Support Package, and PDR-SET-UP/TRAINING Set-Up and Training services (8 hours on-site). The justification for sole-source procurement under RFO 11.204(a)(2)(ii) (Brand Name) is based on market research findings that the PDR America E3 Simple Rework Station is the only system meeting all essential technical specifications for the laboratory's unique manual rework requirements, including manual pick-up system, split-beam prism alignment, and specific medium-wave infrared preheater criteria. While White Industrial Corp (DBA-PDR America) manufactures the equipment, authorized third-party resellers such as Paragon Micro are permitted to compete. The determination was signed by Contracting Officer Christina M. Day on August 3, 2026.
