About this opportunity
The Air Force Materiel Command Test Center is issuing a Request for Information on an X-Ray Inspection System, with responses due July 27, 2026. This is an RFI for planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to contract or issue a future solicitation; the Government will not evaluate responses as proposals or accept unsolicited quotes, and all response costs are the responsibility of the respondent.
The SIDEC Lab at Edwards Air Force Base requires an X-Ray machine meeting the following critical specifications: minimum focal spot size of 5 micrometers or less to support 0.5 millimeter pitch components, minimum tube voltage of 90 kilovolts to support standard 0.063-inch board thickness, capability to support printed circuit board assemblies of at least 10 inches by 12 inches, and operation on standard 115 VAC at 60 hertz. Respondents should clearly mark proprietary information in their submissions.

The SIDEC Lab at Edwards AFB has a requirement for a X-Ray Machine with the salient characteristics as follows:
The critical specifications that our X-Ray system must meet are as follows:
- Minimum focal spot size of 5um or less (to support our expected 0.5mm pitch components)
- Minimum tube voltage: 90 kV (to support our standard 0.063” board thickness)
- Must support PCB assemblies at least 10”x12”
- Operates on standard 115VAC @ 60Hz (<14A)
- Must have a footprint of 36”x36” or smaller, with a maximum height of 48” while being moved, 60” while stationary.
- Must weight 900 lbs. or less (our workbench capacity)
- Must not require any external X-ray radiation related safety precautions (must have safety interlocks)
- Must be a fully functional stand-alone system (no other equipment required to produce PCB inspection images/models)
- Must include a Microsoft Windows-based PC for control, image preview, and data export.
- Must include hardware/software for creating Computed Tomography (CT) visualizations (3D models)
- Basic installation, setup, and training must be included.
