AI Contract Overview

The Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Directorate (AFRL/RF) at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, intends to award a sole source contract to Keysight Technologies, Inc. for the calibration and repair of Keysight manufactured test equipment. This requirement, categorized under NAICS 811210, involves both on-site services at the base and return-to-contractor services at the vendor's facilities. The decision to use a single source is based on market research indicating that Keysight, as the original equipment manufacturer, is the only responsible vendor capable of providing the necessary services for the identified equipment list. The scope of work requires that all calibrations be traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards and meet ISO/IEC 17025 or specific Air Force Technical Order requirements. Repair services must utilize parts and materials that meet original equipment manufacturer specifications. The contractor is required to provide a repair order number within three days of a government request and must implement a Quality Control Plan to ensure compliance with safety and health standards. While the government covers shipping for equipment sent for repair, the contractor is responsible for the costs of returning the equipment to Wright-Patterson AFB.
