About this opportunity
The Air Force Academy issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source on September 14, 2026, for procurement of one OxyCycler C42 Dynamic/Pre-programmable O2/CO2 Controller and Single 2-Shelf C-Chamber system from BioSpherix, LLC, with responses due by 10:00 AM MDT on September 17, 2026. A solicitation will not be posted. The contracting authority is 10 USC 2304(c)(1), citing sole manufacturer status as justification for the non-competitive award.
The Air Force Academy's Department of Biology requires this specialized equipment to precisely control atmospheric gas concentrations—oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen—for studying hypoxia and hyperoxia effects on cadet researchers. The market survey determined BioSpherix is the sole source capable of meeting requirements due to proprietary technology, integrated bi-directional closed-loop gas infusion control, and pre-programmable cycle creation capabilities not available from competitors. Custom engineering alternatives would introduce unacceptable technical risk, integration errors, and delays preventing fiscal year completion.
The requirement is valued below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and will be awarded as a firm-fixed-price purchase order on or before September 30, 2026, subject to fund availability. NAICS code 334516 applies; size standard is 1,000 employees.
Responsible sources may submit capability statements demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the Government. Responses and questions must be submitted to marissa.morris.4@us.af.mil and danielle.hyde.2@us.af.mil. Contractors must maintain current SAM registration.
