About this opportunity
The Air Force Sustainment Center has published a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source electromagnetic interference (EMI) testing services to Engineered Test Systems for the Common Aircraft Portable Reprogramming Equipment (CAPRE) Network Interface Module (NIM). This notice, posted on March 17, 2026, represents the government's intention to procure specialized EMI testing services without conducting competitive procurement. The procurement falls under the Testing Laboratories and Services category (NAICS 541380) and is classified under the Equipment and Materials Testing PSC code H259. Although this is not an active solicitation and quotes are not currently being accepted, the notice invites interested parties to submit capability statements demonstrating their qualifications.
The primary objective of this sole-source procurement is to conduct comprehensive EMI testing on a production-representative NIM unit with an updated circuit board layout to certify the final production design for fielding. Engineered Test Systems has been identified as the sole source due to its unique technical capabilities, in-depth knowledge from prior EMI qualification testing on the original NIM design, and established testing methodology that ensures data integrity and comparable results. All responsible sources may submit capability statements within seven calendar days of the notice publication date (by March 24, 2026), and the government retains discretionary authority to reconsider competition based on received responses. The procurement is driven by critical program timelines, with completion required by Q3 FY26 to meet the CAPRE SLMV program's end-of-fiscal-year delivery obligations. Source approval is required but will not delay contract award; the government acknowledges that approval timelines for new sources typically cannot accommodate the accelerated schedule for this mission-critical initiative.
