5. Reasons for Authority Cited: The three autoclaves are used to cure aviation parts at the CCAD composite shop and if they are not maintained, there will be no alternative method to cure aviation parts. There is a requirement for preventive maintenance and calibration for each unit. Each of the three AvPro controllers were procured from Advanced Processing Technology, which is the original equipment manufacturer.

Government personnel are not certified to calibrate the autoclaves nor is the specific equipment required to perform the maintenance and calibration. Advance Processing Technology is the only company with the proprietary rights to the software and documentation needed to fulfill this requirement. As a result, Advanced Processing Technology is the only source capable of performing the preventive maintenance and calibration.
