About this file

This is a Justification Review Document from the National Guard Bureau for a noncompetitive procurement action dated September 23, 2025.

The National Guard Bureau seeks to procure a Tronair 15-7609-6000-FJ Cabin Pressure Test Set and Nano Separator for the 138th Fighter Wing (138FW). The requirement is to obtain equipment for testing cockpit seats on the F-16 aircraft. According to Air Force Life Cycle Management Center MEMFOR guidance, the TRONAIR 15-7609-6000-FJ is the only approved tester for conducting the cabin pressurization test and must be used with the Nano purification component when not used with an oil-free hangar air source. The justification asserts this is the only tester approved as an equivalent to identify blowing leaks when used with hangar air and in quiet operation. The contracting activity is 138FW / W50S8U, with the requiring activity being 138 MXG. This is a new contract action with a Firm Fixed Price contract type, funded under O&M, Air appropriation. The nature of action is identified as Brand Name; Individual Basis. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 2304(a)(1) or 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as implemented in FAR 6.302-1 (Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements) as the authority for other than full and open competition. Despite the brand name limitation justification, 138FW indicates it is competing this requirement and anticipates more than one offer, noting that while Tronair and Nano are the manufacturers, other sources exist to procure this requirement. The Resource Advisor and Contracting Officer certifications are dated August 06, 2026.
