Limited Competition Justification-Huntron Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification Review Document for a sole-source procurement of the Huntron Access DH2 Prober by the National Guard Bureau.

The Huntron Access DH2 Prober is a robotic "flying probe" system designed for automated testing and diagnostics of printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies. The system is essential for the Air Force Repair Enhancement Program (AFREP) mission, which involves component-level troubleshooting and repair of mission-critical assets. The equipment enables trained technicians to quickly and reliably diagnose complex Circuit Card Assemblies (CCAs), facilitating local repair, reducing procurement and depot-level repair costs, and improving mission readiness. The procurement is classified as a sole-source acquisition under 10 USC 2304(a)(1) or 41 USC 3304(a)(1), with the contracting activity being the 127th Maintenance Group at W50S85. The fund type is O&M, Air, and the document indicates the estimated total price of the request (including options) is redacted, as is the estimated price of supplies/services.

The justification document establishes that only the Huntron Access DH2 can meet government requirements due to its integration with existing mission-critical infrastructure, including standardized test program sets (TPS) files, existing technician training, and established repair procedures. The acquisition was previously not procured (indicated by "No" in Section 5a). The document notes that competing manufacturers such as Keysight, Teradyne, and SPEA cannot meet compatibility requirements with the government's existing validated test program library. Market research was conducted through SBA searches and internet inquiries; the SBA identified 485 companies in NAICS 334515, with only Huntron as the manufacturer of the requested item. The document is controlled by the National Guard Bureau and Michigan Air National Guard, with limited dissemination control (FEDCON). The Point of Contact is Tami McKenney (586-239-5989), the Contracting Officer who approved the justification on behalf of the federal government.
