Contracting Activity: 9 CONS/PKB

Project/Program Name: 9 SFS Ultrasonic Gun Cleaner

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The government is seeking to purchase a Infante P200 Ultrasonic gun cleaner OR EQUAL.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

The Infante P200 is the only machine found during market research with the following:

The P200 has a semi-automation system, which includes a precision-guided overhead gantry, pneumatic cylinders, and a touch-screen HMI with programmable logic controller. This capability enables automated agitation, dwell cycles, recipe-based programming, and a Process Pause function for manual intervention, ensuring both consistent results and operator flexibility.

Infante Ultrasonics is the sole manufacturer of the CROSSFIRE technology and the only vendor offering simultaneous dual-frequency operation with integrated semi-automation and dual-tank configuration. The system is further backed by a two-year warranty on all components and a ten-year warranty on transducers, ensuring long-term reliability and reduced sustainment costs.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Previously a post was made to SAM for a Sources Sought and 3 responses were given. Only the Infante P200 met all the needs of 9 SFS. Recently a Sources Sought was posted to GSA ebuy and only Police Products responded with the P200. With this information the government will post a Brand name or Equal to allow for similar products to be quoted.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

In the future, market research will continue to be conducted to find any reasonable source to meet the needs of the requirement.
