ASC autoclave

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is procuring four Gold Yearly Support Plans with calibration services and cooling coil performance services for autoclave equipment at Tinker Air Force Base. The solicitation seeks comprehensive annual support and maintenance services including software support with unlimited technical assistance, hardware maintenance with a $500 annual spare parts allowance, on-site preventive maintenance visits, and engineering expertise for troubleshooting and training. The contract requires extensive contractor compliance with safety protocols, environmental regulations, and mandatory training courses for personnel working on the base. This procurement is structured as a sole source acquisition justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with ASC Process Systems identified as the only authorized service provider capable of maintaining the complex autoclave systems. The solicitation was posted on September 23, 2025, with responses due by October 3, 2025, providing potential contractors with a tight ten-day response window.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and represents a competitive procurement despite the sole source justification documentation. ASC Process Systems, a small business located in Livingston, California, appears to be the incumbent contractor and sole qualified vendor for these specialized autoclave support services. The contract structure includes one base year and three optional one-year extensions, covering support for two specific autoclaves: a Melco 8X20 (Serial Number 2912) and an EC15X30 (Serial Number 09335). Services will be performed at the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex on Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The procurement anticipates 6-10 total days of on-site support annually with 3-5 days of expected equipment downtime, and includes annual two-day engineering visits for advanced troubleshooting and programming modifications. While specific contract values are not disclosed in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of the support services and multi-year structure suggests a substantial investment in maintaining critical autoclave equipment operations.
