About this opportunity
The Special Notice concerns the 122nd Fighter Wing's intent to procure ChipCHECK Oil Analysis Equipment through a sole source contract with GasTOPS, Inc. The notice is published by the Department of the Army, though it involves Air Force operations at Fort Wayne, Indiana. The procurement involves a ChipCHECK Kit (part number B179820) which serves as a field deployable analytical wear debris analysis tool. The contract will be structured as a firm-fixed price agreement, contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds. The Department of the Air Force already maintains an existing IDIQ contract with GasTOPS for similar analyzer equipment and related services.
The primary purpose of this notice is to inform potential contractors about the intended sole source procurement while providing an opportunity for interested parties to express their capabilities. Contractors must submit responses exclusively via email to lisa.crose@us.af.mil by September 24, 2025, at 2:00 PM EDT. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1000 employees, indicating eligibility for businesses meeting this threshold. The government explicitly states this is not a request for proposals and will not reimburse any costs associated with responding to the notice. The justification for sole sourcing centers on GasTOPS' proprietary designs and the existing contractual relationship with the Air Force for analyzer equipment, training, and repair services.
