This is a Sole Source (Brand Name) Justification document for a simplified acquisition of commercial items under AFFARS 5313.501. The Air Force Test Center (AFTC), Directorate of Contracting, Installation Contracting Division at Edwards AFB, CA is procuring BARCO Projectors as a new requirement to be awarded on a firm fixed-price basis. The contracting officer is Karla Vazquez (AFTC/PZZG 661-275-2540). The Purchase Request/Local ID Number is F1S0AX5353A001, with an estimated contract cost redacted and a delivery date to be determined. The document was approved on 12 January 2026.

The mission partner is requesting specific BARCO projector models: ten units of model R9023463 F70-4K6 and three units of model R9009662 F40-4K MKII for Nellis AFB, and two units of model R9023463 F70-4K6 and three units of model R9009662 F40-4K MKII for Edwards AFB. These projectors are essential spares for sixteen Collins Aerospace High Fidelity domes at the 445th and eight 3D Perception medium fidelity domes. The justification establishes that BARCO is the sole source based on form fit and function requirements, as the projectors are currently installed in these domes and spares must be exact matches. The CO determined the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable based on commercial pricing analysis per FAR 13.106-3(a). Market research confirmed small businesses are capable of providing BARCO products. The contract will be 100% Small Business Set-Aside (SBSA) with a Request for Quote posted on SAM.gov, and award will be made to the contractor with the lowest price technically acceptable to the government.
