This Single Source Justification document details a procurement for a Delta H Tool Master Furnace, Model TMF-273627-2350F-CIA-4803, for the Air Force's AFT/CP/ZIOB contracting activity. The specialized furnace is required for temperature treatment and heat processing of new steel alloys for aircraft and engine components, with specific technical requirements including a temperature range of 500°F to 2350°F, 27" chamber dimensions, 480V 3 phase electrical specifications, and integration with a Eurotherm Nanodac recorder/controller.

The document justifies a single-source procurement, noting that the Delta H Tool Master Furnace is the only known equipment meeting the agency's operability and compatibility requirements. Market research was conducted, including internet searches and trade journal reviews, which found no alternative manufacturers capable of providing an equivalent solution. The estimated contract cost is redacted, with a planned acquisition date in September 2025. The contracting officer has determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that only a single source is reasonably available for this specialized equipment.
