About this opportunity
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base has issued a Special Notice for a sole source contract with Cost Effective Equipment, LLC to procure an Apogee Spin Coater and Apogee Spin Developer. The contract is specifically for the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) Electrical & Computer Engineering Department to support cleanroom courses and student research projects involving silicon wafer processing for Microelectromechanical (MEMS) and Nanoelectronic circuits. The procurement will be executed as a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Commercial Purchase Order, utilizing the statutory authority under 10 United States Code 2304 (c) (1), which permits a non-competitive acquisition. The NAICS code for this opportunity is 541715 for Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. Cost Effective Equipment LLC is positioned as the sole vendor capable of meeting the government's specific requirements.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to standardize instrumentation between AFIT and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) by acquiring two specific instruments to ensure continuity of training and research support. Contractors should note that this is not a request for competitive proposals, and no solicitation package will be issued. Interested parties may submit responses and questions via email to jennifer.blackford@us.af.mil and shannon.scott.4@us.af.mil by December 27, 2024, at 1000 hours. The government will review submissions to determine if conducting a competitive procurement is in its best interest, though the final decision remains solely at the government's discretion. The contract requires delivery of the equipment within 90 days after approval, with the systems to be delivered to Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. Eligibility is implicitly limited, as the notice specifically identifies Cost Effective Equipment LLC as the sole vendor capable of meeting the technical requirements for the Apogee Spin Coater and Spin Developer.
