The contract is for the 28th Contracting Squadron at Ellsworth AFB, with a Purchase Request/Local ID Number F1V0A65051A001, seeking STC brand name acoustic testing equipment and associated training. The justification emphasizes the need for compatibility with existing acoustic testing equipment currently in use at AFGSC bases, with the intent to ensure interoperability, consistent testing procedures, and software/operating alignment.

The Contracting Officer has determined, in accordance with FAR guidelines, that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source as reasonably available. The acquisition is not a Bridge Action, and various small business resellers of STC brand equipment have been identified as capable of providing the required equipment and training. The contract is set to be signed on 10-Apr-2025 by the Contracting Officer.
