About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command, specifically the 355th Contracting Squadron, has issued a Special Notice regarding a sole-source procurement action for a Thermocouple Power Sensor repair. The notice pertains to a specific power sensor with part number N8487A and serial number SG58240002, which requires repair across the frequency range of 50MHz to 50GHz. Keysight Technologies, Inc. has been identified as the intended sole-source vendor for this repair service. The procurement is categorized under the NAICS code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance, with a Product Service Code of J049 for maintenance and repair shop equipment. This special notice represents a targeted procurement action for a highly specialized technical repair service.
Contractors interested in challenging the sole-source determination must submit their rationale directly to Jonathan Turk via email or phone by Thursday, March 27, 2025, at 7:00 AM PST. The government will evaluate any responses received, but retains full discretion in determining whether to compete the procurement. No reimbursement will be provided to firms submitting capability information, and the responses will be considered solely to assess potential competitive alternatives. The justification for the sole-source approach stems from Keysight Technologies' proprietary rights, specialized knowledge, and exclusive access to technical parts and data for this specific sensor repair. While the current procurement appears limited to Keysight, the 355th Contracting Office indicates they will continue searching for alternative vendors and manufacturers for future opportunities. Potential respondents should carefully prepare their submissions, understanding that the government's determination is not guaranteed to result in a competitive procurement.
