The solicitation is for a FILTER ELEMENT, FLUID with NSN 1650-002991775, requiring 524 units. The contract type is an Indefinite Quantity (IQC) with a 5-year base period. A sources sought notice was posted on SAM.GOV on 3/25/2025, which resulted in no responses.

The contract will be awarded to Pall Aeropower PTI Technologies, with the procurement method justified under AMC 1 as suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time.

The total estimated value is redacted, and the contract will be approved at the Contracting Officer level since it does not exceed $750,000. The document includes market research efforts demonstrating attempts to seek competition, including a sources sought notice posted on SAM.GOV. The justification emphasizes that the technical certification is required due to limited available technical data, and the acquisition is restricted to the only known source capable of furnishing the required supplies/services. Integrated Procurement Technologies is listed as an interested source, though no further details about their potential involvement are provided.
