GSA Sole Source Award Notice - VDATS ATTI VXI to PXIE Converter Chassis

The Department of the Air Force, through the AFSC/PZIMB contracting office at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, has issued a sole source award under solicitation FA857126F0080 to Advanced Testing Technologies, Inc. (ATTI). The contract requires the delivery of 25 units of the proprietary ATTI Insert Converter Chassis Adapter (Part # PZIE03), which are critical for the Versatile Diagnostic Automatic Test Station (VDATS) DA-1 system. This procurement is justified under FAR 6.102(a)(2) and 41 U.S.C. 1901 due to ATTI's exclusive possession of proprietary technical data, which prevents other vendors from providing compatible hardware without significant research and development costs exceeding 1 million dollars and a six-month delay. The contractor, a small business with CAGE code ODRX9, is responsible for providing all labor, materials, and transportation to deliver the units to the Electronics Maintenance Group (EMXG) at the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex. Inspection and formal acceptance will occur at this destination. While specific pricing and a formal period of performance are not detailed in the provided documentation, the award is based on a trade-off of non-price factors, specifically the need to avoid severe system compatibility issues and critical data-flow risks. Contract administration is managed by Contracting Officer Lasonia Anderson and Technical Representative Vicki Willis.
