About this opportunity
AFLCMC at Wright Patterson Air Force Base intends to solicit and award a single-source Firm Fixed Price contract for one Isotech ITL-M-18233 Triple Point Water Maintenance System by June 25, 2026, with responses to the pre-solicitation notice due within 15 days of publication. Isotech is the only manufacturer compatible with the Air Force Primary Standards Laboratory's current Jarrett A11 triple point of water cells and associated hardware; the D&F justifies sole-source procurement under RFO 12.102(a) on the grounds that any alternative model would require complete replacement of the entire cell suite, creating substantial additional costs and testing delays.
Place of performance is Heath, Ohio (AFMETCAL). The system must maintain a primary fixed point for high-accuracy Platinum Resistance Thermometer calibrations, simultaneously housing four Jarrett A11 triple point cells with temperature stability of at least 0.002°C or better over 24 hours and preserving the ice mantle for a minimum of six weeks without user intervention. The system shall operate in environments of 60 to 90°F and 10 to 90% relative humidity (non-condensing) with 110 VAC at 50/60 Hz. Deliverables include a comprehensive operator's manual, a Technical Data Package complying with DIDs DI-TMSS-80527D and DI-SESS-80776B, and a one-year warranty with technical support. Final system acceptance occurs at a government-specified destination with testing using NIST-traceable or AFMETCAL-approved equipment. Interested sources must submit capability statements with clear and convincing evidence of capability to benjamin.bailey.9@us.af.mil. A Sources Sought Synopsis posted to SAM.gov generated one non-manufacturer response that did not claim existing contractor status and did not reply to follow-up inquiries.
