Phantom 02 calibration - sole source

The United States Special Operations Command intends to issue a sole source solicitation to ECI Defense Group, Inc., of Lawrenceville, Georgia for on-site Phantom O2 test stand calibration services. This procurement supports the Naval Special Warfare Advanced Technology Center's requirement for specialized calibration of Phantom Test Stands (PTS) used to verify and perform testing of Parachute Oxygen Masks (POM) for Military Free Fall operations. The contract requires calibration services to be performed twice annually at the government facility. The sole source justification is based on Eaton's ownership of all intellectual property and rights for the PHANTOM system product family, making them the only company capable of providing maintenance, training, and calibration for this specialized parachuting oxygen equipment. The procurement falls under NAICS code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance, and responses to this pre-solicitation notice are due by July 21, 2025.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is structured as a non-competitive procurement. While ECI Defense Group, Inc. is identified as the intended sole source contractor, the underlying equipment is manufactured by Eaton's Mission Systems Division in Orchard Park, which holds the exclusive rights to the PHANTOM system technology. The total contract value is $44,000.00 according to the justification documentation. The base period of performance is twelve months with one twelve-month option period, creating a potential total contract duration of twenty-four months. The procurement code assigned is ANUN/NAVSEA ULSS No. 11704178-781-D-O-IU, and the specialized nature of the equipment and services required supports the government's determination that only one source can meet these unique operational requirements.
