Description

This is a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation for the acquisition of a X-Ray Inspection System.

1. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products prepared in accordance with RFO Part 12. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. A quotation is requested, and a separate written solicitation will not be issued.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE: The Air Force TEST CENTER (AFTC/PZZF) at Edwards AFB intends to award a sole source firm-fixed price-purchase order to Creative Electron, Inc (CAGE: 54S43) under the authority of 6.302-1, “only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.” Market research has determined this is the only benchtop system in the marketplace that natively meets all of the Government’s physical salient characteristics while providing the precise, high-magnification software required for this capability.

While this is a sole-source requirement, any responsible source who believes they can meet all the requirements described in this synopsis may submit, in writing, a complete quote and technical capability statement for consideration. Offerors shall submit quotes via email, please note the maximum file size is 10MB. Emails over this file size will not be received. Submit only written offers; oral offers will not be accepted.
