This Single Source Justification document details a sole source procurement for the Spectroil M/SN 10219 Optic Repair + Factory Calibration & Verification project by the 5th Contracting Squadron at Minot Air Force Base. The procurement involves repairing and calibrating a specialized Oil Analysis Equipment for aircraft engine oil microscopic metal analysis, with a specific focus on the 5 & 14 chip systems.

The justification highlights that only one company can perform the repair due to the equipment's proprietary software, complex programming, and specialized "clean room" repair requirements. The company has exclusive capabilities for this sensitive component repair, utilizing company-specific computer programs and manufacturing tools. The Air Force has determined this to be a single source procurement under Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with the repair limited to trained engineers within the United States. The anticipated award is set for after 18 July 2025, with interested parties invited to submit alternative repair service capabilities by the same date.
