Intent to Award Sole/Single Source - USAFSAM/OE Alpha Beta Gas Counter
Solicitation # IASS-AFRL-RMZB-2026-0052
The Air Force Research Laboratory Enterprise Strategies and Initiatives Contracting Division intends to award a firm fixed-price sole source purchase order to Gamma Products, Inc. for one new automated Heavily Shielded Ultra-Low Background Gas Flow Alpha Beta Gas Counter, model G5020/100T. This procurement, identified by solicitation number IASS-AFRL-RMZB-2026-0052, is intended to replace an existing system at the end of its service life at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. The acquisition is justified as a single source because Gamma Products, Inc. is the only vendor capable of providing the specific model required to maintain standardization with existing training and standard operating procedures. The technical requirements specify a system featuring four inches of lead shielding in all directions, a 100-sample automated changer, and compatibility with standard P-10 counting gas. The system must include a computer running Windows 10 or 11 with native operating software capable of automatic HV plateau generation and basic control chart QA reporting. The scope of work also includes the trade-in, pickup, and removal of the older unit. While the government is proceeding with a sole source award under NAICS code 334519, authorized distributors or responsible sources may submit capability statements or exceptions to the intent to purchase by September 15, 2026.

AI Contract Overview

Show more

The U.S. Air Force, through the Air Force Sustainment Center’s PZIEA office at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, intends to sole-source the procurement of Jimsphere High Resolution Wind Profiler weather balloons with a 2-meter diameter made from clear 1/2 mil polyester film to Meteorological Products Inc. This action is authorized under RFO 6.103-1, as the government lacks the technical information or alternative sources capable of servicing or supplying this specialized equipment, and only the original equipment manufacturer can meet operational requirements. Although this is not a solicitation and competitive quotes are not currently being accepted, responsible sources may submit capability statements within eight calendar days of the notice’s publication on May 14, 2026, with a response deadline of May 22, 2026. Any submissions will be reviewed at the government’s discretion, but no delay in award will occur pending source approval, as the timeline for new source approval typically cannot accommodate contract scheduling needs. The place of performance is Nibley, Utah, and primary point of contact is Hans Yuri Gabriel, with secondary contact Kathryn McKay. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 334519 and carries no set-aside designation.
