AGAS II J-A Signed Redacted.pdf

This Justification and Approval (J&A) document is for a sole-source contract with Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE) for the Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC) to perform radioactive gas analysis services. The eight-year contract, valued at $80 million, will run from 1 November 2025 to 31 October 2033, with funding allocated across Operations & Maintenance, Research & Development, and Procurement categories.

The contract requires TBE to provide specialized radioactive gas analysis data and reports for the Reactor Plant Products program, supporting nuclear treaty compliance monitoring. Market research confirmed TBE and Linde LLC are the only two firms capable of performing these highly specialized services. The contract necessitates maintaining a DoD SECRET security clearance, a US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Materials License, and extensive expertise in analyzing environmental gas samples with complex and detailed analytical techniques. The government determined that awarding to TBE on a sole-source basis is in the best interest due to the unique nature of the work and potential high costs of transitioning to a new contractor.
