AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Air Force is planning a sole-source award to Oxford Instruments America, Inc. for the repair and calibration of an Oxford EDS UltimMax 100 detector at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, under solicitation number IASS-AFRL-RIZ-2026-0026. This action is justified under FAR 12.201-2, as Oxford Instruments America is the only entity with the proprietary tools, software, and certified personnel required to perform the work on the OEM-specific detector, which must be restored to full operational capability and seamlessly integrated with the Hitachi NX9000 scanning electron microscope. The requirement is classified under NAICS code 811210, and no set-aside for small businesses or other socioeconomic categories applies; the vendor is confirmed as not a small business. The performance location is primarily Building 1169 at Eglin AFB, with off-site repair allowed at the contractor’s facility, but final reinstallation and calibration must occur on-site. The estimated labor includes 8 hours for removal, 6 hours for reinstallation, and 2 hours for calibration. The government will accept responses only via email to michael.hornberger.1@us.af.mil with the subject line “Repair & Calibrate EDS Detector,” and submissions must be received by 9:00 AM Eastern Time on July 1, 2026. Only PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, or XLSX files are permitted as attachments; EXE and ZIP files will be filtered out. Award is based solely on technical acceptability and compliance with OEM performance standards, with no formal pricing data or cost estimate publicly available in the solicitation, though a sole-source justification document exists internally. No contract clauses from FAR 52.2 are listed, and no payment office, COR, COTR, or invoicing method is specified beyond the contracting office address at AFRL/RIZ, Wright-Patterson AFB.
