The 162nd Wing of the Morris ANGB is initiating a sole source procurement for the specialized repair of an ECS Tester, identifying Howell Instruments Inc as the only responsible source capable of satisfying the agency requirements. This decision is based on the fact that the government does not possess the necessary data rights to solicit the repair from other providers. The action is categorized as a small business set aside under NAICS code 488190. While the government intends to negotiate exclusively with Howell Instruments Inc, it is allowing other responsible sources to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations to determine if a competitive repair is feasible. Interested parties must submit their qualifications to the primary point of contact, Larry Oldford, by the response deadline of August 25, 2026. The performance of this contract will take place in Tucson, Arizona.
