Keysight Calibration Kits

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center is procuring 22 Keysight 85521A CAI Kits, which are 4-in-1 Open, Short, Load, and Thru (OSLT) calibration kits with DC to 26.5 GHz frequency range and 3.5 mm(f) connectors for F-22 aircraft systems maintenance. Each kit must include a manufacturer's user manual and 1-year warranty, and the procurement is designated as a brand name requirement with single source justification based on comparative testing that demonstrated the Keysight 85521A is the only calibration kit proven to provide necessary accuracy and reliability for FieldFox Network Analyzer calibration in critical aircraft maintenance applications. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 334515 with a small business size standard of 750 employees and will be evaluated using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with a current CAGE code and DUNS number. Quotations must be submitted to Capt Ali Srader via email no later than 4:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time on September 5, 2025.

This solicitation does not utilize any set-aside designation and no incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation. While specific award values are not disclosed, the procurement involves 22 calibration units to be distributed across five different Air Force installations with varying quantities: Elmendorf AFB in Alaska, Langley AFB in Virginia, Hickam AFB in Hawaii, Edwards AFB in California, and Nellis AFB in Nevada, with individual shipments ranging from 2 to 9 units per location. The contract will be awarded on a firm fixed price basis with a 90-day delivery schedule from the date of award. The primary place of performance is Hill Air Force Base, Utah, which serves as the contracting location, though the calibration kits will ultimately be delivered to the five specified Air Force bases for use in F-22 aircraft maintenance operations.
