About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright Patterson Air Force Base has awarded contract FA226323C0002 to Jung Research and Development Corp. on a sole-source basis for continued operation and specialized support of the Low Background Infrared calibration facility at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in support of the Missile Defense Agency's Kill Vehicle program and Aegis Standard Missile-3 interceptors.
The justification cites extensive market research from 2015 to present, including two prior sources sought notices that yielded limited viable responses, establishing JRAD as the only qualified source. The contract is cost-plus, covering the period from August 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027, plus a six-month option. Personnel must hold a minimum of 10 years of direct experience in building, maintaining, and operating high-vacuum cryogenic systems for infrared instrumentation, with key technical expertise in cryogenic refrigerator systems, thermal infrared optical equipment, visible and infrared laser systems, cryogenic vacuum Fourier transform infrared radiometers, data acquisition and automation hardware and software, error analysis, and NIST IT security compliance. The Government acquires unlimited rights in all data, reports, specifications, technical drawings, and software developed under the contract. Funding derives from Operations & Maintenance (Defense-Wide), Research, Development, Test & Evaluation, and Procurement (Defense-Wide) appropriations. The Air Force plans to overcome barriers to future competition through knowledge transfer, technology standardization, and small business subcontracting opportunities. NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services); PSC H266 (Equipment And Materials Testing).
