The U.S. Air Force intends to award a sole-source contract to United Western Technologies Corp. (UniWest) under the authority of FAR 6.103-1(a) and FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for the procurement of an Eddy Current Array Unit to support aircraft inspection operations at Dover Air Force Base. The requirement is for a second unit to complement the existing system, enabling parallel inspections during major Isochronal maintenance events and improving aircraft readiness by increasing throughput. The item must strictly conform to Technical Order 1C-5M-36, Supplement 3, which mandates the use of UniWest’s brand-specific equipment, including the Evi Instrument (99977), 64-channel scanner, 200 kHz and 2 MHz probe heads, calibration standards, and related accessories, leaving no alternative sources capable of meeting the technical specifications. The contract, identified as FA449726Q0041, is a simplified acquisition under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, with UniWest certified as a small business entity identified by UEI HVAEAVUJRG38. The delivery must be completed within 12 to 14 weeks after award and shipped directly to the 436th MXS Sheet Metal Shop at Dover AFB, Delaware, with all shipping, handling, and packaging included. The equipment must be delivered in a 77217 Shipping Case and a 95683 Pelican Case, with the shipping case labeled and the manufacturer’s warranty covering any defects. No formal competitive evaluation process exists due to the single-source nature of the procurement; however, interested parties may submit evidence to challenge the sole-source justification by 2:00 p.m. EST on June 3, 2026, via email to the designated contracting officers. The estimated contract value is not specified, and no formal CLINs, pricing structure, or payment instructions are provided in the documentation. The procurement is firm-fixed price in nature, with no options or funding details explicitly stated beyond an administrative placeholder of $0.00 for options. Acceptance occurs at the destination location upon verification of compliance with the referenced technical order and full operational capability. The contract does not include details on COR/COTR, accounting codes, invoicing procedures, or MIL-STD packaging and marking requirements, though vendor identification and warranty provisions are required.
