About this file
This document is a single source justification for an automated pressure calibrator. The Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center requires an Additel 761A Automated Pressure Calibrator from Additel Corporation, as it is the original equipment manufacturer and sole authorized provider. Market research found no other suppliers, as Additel has proprietary rights and there are no authorized third parties. The calibrator is needed to calibrate pressure gauges and transducers per technical orders, and allows onsite high-accuracy pneumatic calibration. Continuing to use obsolete equipment from another vendor would seriously harm programs already interrupted. Additel Corporation is located at 2900 Saturn Street #B, Brea CA 92821. The related federal contract opportunity is solicitation number FA857123Q0123 for an automated pressure calibrator from the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center.

Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

Manufacturer (OEM) for this hardware and the only known source. Additel Corporation has propriety rights to the hardware as the only authorized manufacturer/seller. There are no authorized third parties that can provide the Additel 761A Automated Pressure Calibrator (see attached 74173 OEM Letter). Therefore, no other contractor can obtain these supplies.
The Additel 761A Automated Pressure Calibrator is ruggedized for field use and encompasses the range and measurement accuracy required to calibrate pressure gauges and pressure transducers per Air Force Technical Orders 33K-1-100-2 and 33K6-4-427-1. This hardware allows the MCF to have onsite, high-accuracy pneumatic pressure calibration capability.
Choosing another vendor, such as the one currently in use, would cause serious harm and delays to the programs that have already been seriously interrupted. The hardware in use, by a different vendor is obsolete, unsupportable, with lab standards not designed for field use. Personnel are currently utilizing a hand pump with hand-held gauges, lacking any vacuum calibration capability- which is accuracy-degraded from the automated calibrators (see attached 74173 OEM Letter).
OEM (Single Source):
Company name: Additel Corporation
Address: 2900 Saturn Street #B, Brea CA 92821, United States
CAGE code: 6RUA6
Type Business: Large
There are no authorized resellers per the attached OEM Letter.
Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition
Market research was performed by reviewing the Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) and System for Award Management (SAM) databases using North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code (334513) (Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables). The NAICS Code was established by selecting Federal Supply Classification Code (FSC) or Product Service (PSC) Code (5220) (Inspection Gages and Precision Layout Tools) in conjunction with the NAICS identified by the OEM in SAM (see attached 74173 PSC Query). DSBS and SAM database queries also utilized keywords (Pressure Calibrator) in order to locate companies that could provide an Automated Pressure Calibrator (see attached 74173_DSBS Query). A review of small businesses to include 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business, and Women Owned Small Business was conducted in search of a company that could provide the Automated Pressure Calibrator. The DSBS database query resulted in one (1) small business. Per the OEM letter, the company generated in the search is not capable since they are not authorized resellers, distributors, partners, nor a third-party vendor. Additionally, the OEM is the only authorized provider for the Additel Automated Pressure Calibrator. GSA 2nd Generation IT (GSA 2Git) was also queried, since this is a hardware purchase, for any
