About this opportunity
The 341st Contracting Squadron at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana has published a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for nuclear density gauge equipment. The Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command intends to award a sole source contract to Troxler Electric Laboratories, Inc. for a Troxler Model 4540 EGuage Combo nuclear density gauge. This equipment is required for the 819th Red Horse Squadron, which is classified as a Total Small Business set-aside opportunity. The notice explicitly states this is not a request for competitive offers and no solicitation will be issued. However, the agency will consider responses from other responsible sources who can demonstrate that competition would be advantageous to the government.
The primary purpose is to procure nuclear density gauges that meet specific technical requirements for the 819th Red Horse Squadron's Unit Type Code Equipment Supply List, which mandates equipment necessary for immediate deployment. The Troxler Model 4540 features patented nuclear technology that requires less nuclear material, simpler operation, minimal training, and is exempt from licensing requirements while maintaining nuclear ground density gauge accuracy. Interested contractors must submit written responses by August 22, 2025, at 2:00 PM MDST to Lt Alessandra Ramirez via email, providing clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the government. Responses must include specifications, salient features, and quotations, with oral communications being unacceptable. The agency has indicated that Troxler will provide credit for existing nuclear ground density gauges currently owned by the government. If no affirmative written responses are received, the sole source award will proceed without further notice.
