TMS Calibration System Upgrade

The Air Force Test Center Operational Contracting Squadron at Eglin AFB plans to award a sole source firm-fixed price contract to The Modal Shop, Inc. for upgrading the existing TMS Shock Accelerometer Calibration System. This upgrade will enable the system to perform both vibration accelerometer calibration and dynamic pressure calibration. The anticipated award date for this contract is June 2, 2015. The decision for a sole source award is justified as The Modal Shop is the original equipment manufacturer and the only known vendor capable of meeting the Government's technical requirements. The purchase includes various calibration system components and hardware upgrades, detailed in multiple contract line items covering sensors, reference gauges, mounting fixtures, data acquisition hardware, and a service contract. The contract is supported under the legal authority allowing other than full and open competition per 10 USC 2304 (c)(1) and FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with an approved sole source justification in place. The contract falls under NAICS code 334419, with a small business size standard of 750 employees. While this notice indicates a sole source intent, all responsible sources may submit proposals or quotations within 10 calendar days of the notice, although the government retains full discretion whether to compete the contract. Questions regarding the contract can be directed to the designated point of contact via email.
