About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking to procure a VPI VHF Probe Kit for the 709th Maintenance Support Squadron at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. The procurement is specifically for Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI) equipment to replace outdated systems used for B-2 aircraft inspections. The solicitation (FA8227-25-Q-6001) is a single-source procurement targeting Ludlum Measurements Inc. under NAICS Code 334519, with a small business size standard of 600 employees. The kit requires two VHF Probes, electrode plates, USB cables, a Panasonic Toughbook, and pre-installed software that meets T249 Northrop Grumman specifications. Proposals are due electronically by 1500 MT on April 10, 2025, to hugo.ruano_gutierrez.1@us.af.mil, with extensive market research confirming VPI Technology as the sole authorized source for the required technical specifications.
The procurement has no specific set-aside designation and is being conducted as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) with delivery FOB Destination. The total quantity requested is one complete probe kit, with a 20-week performance period and a 30-day standard commercial warranty. The place of performance is Hill Air Force Base, specifically Building 843, Bay J, with delivery to Morgan Nielson at 309 MXSG / 709 MXSS. While the exact contract value has been redacted, the procurement is critical for maintaining B-2 mission requirements and preventing operational interruptions. The government will continue to monitor the market for potential future competitive alternatives, though currently no equivalent substitutes exist for the proprietary VPI Technology equipment. The solicitation is prepared in accordance with FAR Subpart 12.6 and incorporates standard federal acquisition clauses and provisions.
