About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base issued a sole source justification for a follow-on Firm-Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with Fairbanks Scales, Inc. for Heavy Aircraft Scales Maintenance services at Hangar 1830. The contract covers all management, personnel, tools, equipment, and labor necessary to inspect, maintain, repair, and calibrate a specialized aircraft scales system consisting of four separate scales capable of weighing up to 100,000 pounds with one percent accuracy. The justification for sole source award is based on Fairbanks' unique qualifications as the original manufacturer and sole entity capable of servicing this highly specialized system, which was installed in 1956 and upgraded to digital in 2011, as the contractor does not sell parts to third parties or authorize other vendors due to proprietary concerns. Market research conducted through internet and business searches, combined with a Notice of Intent to Sole Source posted on July 15, 2025 that yielded no vendor responses, supported the determination that competition was not feasible. The contract period extends five years from November 1, 2025 through October 31, 2030, with a funding level greater than the Simplified Acquisition Threshold but less than $750,000. The award was issued on January 26, 2026 under contract number FA930126D0002.
