About this file
This is a Memorandum to File documenting a Decision to Restrict Competition for Commercial Acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). The document authorizes the use of sole-source procurement for commercial products and services not exceeding the SAT when only one source is reasonably available.
The acquisition is for an ATS-830E-T-4 Thermostream System and CSF-6.000.60F Stream Fixture from InTEST Thermal Solutions (CAGE Code 52551), located in Mansfield, MA. The required delivery date is 6-8 weeks after award. The justification for restricting competition is based on "Only One Responsible Source" and "Other Reasons," with the latter indicating that the model directly enables critical environmental testing parameters required by the program and establishes partners requiring elevated temperature Dose Rate Surveillance validation at NSWC Crane Radiation Test Facilities. The documentation notes that temperature control is critical and engineers have developed programs for thermal stream use; switching between different brands or models would require program revalidation and result in government cost overruns. The Contracting Officer (Michelle Helton, Organization Code 0252) certified on June 22, 2026, that only one source is reasonably available for this procurement, precluding competition in accordance with RFO FAR 12.102(a) and RFO DFARS 212.
