The contract is structured as a Firm Fixed-Price Indefinite Quantity contract for a two-year base period with no options.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for other than full and open competition, specifically based on AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC R (the Government does not own the data or rights needed to purchase from another source; it is not economical to procure the data or rights). A sources sought notice and Request for Information were posted on SAM.GOV on 12/10/25, which resulted in no responses. A sources sought notice was also posted on 11/17/25 to maximize competition. The identified sources of supply with capability to furnish the required items are AMETEK INC (CAGE 97424) and GE (CAGE 07482). Additional interested sources include KITCO (CAGE 34087) and R&M GOV SERVICES (CAGE 6FN25). The Contracting Officer, Ryan Loeffelholz, signed the justification on 12/10/2025, and the approval level for this acquisition not exceeding $900,000 is at the Contracting Officer level.
