This is a Justification Review Document for a sole-source Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery - Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with PCB Piezotronics and Endevco for accelerometers and pressure transducers. The United States Army Aberdeen Test Center (ATC) is seeking to procure specialized commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) sensors for Live Fire Test and Evaluation missions, with a total contract value of $6,000,000 covering one base year and two additional ordering periods. The contract will support high-speed data acquisition for measuring physical phenomena like acceleration, pressure, strain, velocity, and force in extreme testing environments.

The procurement is being conducted as a 100% small business set-aside under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with a Request for Information (RFI) posted on March 25, 2025, which generated interest from three small business vendors. The contract will exclusively use PCB Piezotronics and Endevco brand name items, with no substitutions allowed, and requires each transducer to have a valid NIST-traceable calibration certificate. The acquisition will be awarded on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis, with proposals due by August 30, 2025, and an estimated award for September 2025 supporting government projects through September 2028.
