Description

Notice Reference Number: F1T0EB5260A101 � NOCA Custom Infrared Scene Projector Windows This is a notice of contract action (NOCA). This is not a solicitation or a Request for Proposal, Invitation to Bid, or a commitment, implied or otherwise, that AFTC/PZZC will take procurement action in the matter. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this NOCA or any follow-up information requests. The United States Air Force Test Center/Enterprise Services and Innovative Solutions (AFTC/PZZC), Eglin AFB, FL intends to issue a sole source contract to Santa Barbara Infrared Inc. (SBIR) for acquisition of the custom Infrared Scene Projector Windows. This acquisition is conducted under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). Soliciting from a single source for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. Contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This authority allows other than full and open competition when the supplies or services requested by an agency are available from only one responsible source. The GWEF has a requirement to procure and install two custom windows to replace the as delivered windows for two OASIS 512 PEMs to be used at the GWEF, 782 Test Squadron/RNWG, Eglin AFB, FL. The two modified OASIS 512 PEMs will be used to develop a new test capability to address customer HITL IRCM T&E requirements. The new custom windows must have the same physical specifications (glass type, dimensions, etc.) but require a different (narrower) transmission coating than the as delivered window broad band coating. If there is significant physical variance or if the window replacement is done incorrectly this will cause vacuum leaks causing the resistive arrays to fail and could contaminate the emitter array making it unusable. It is recommended to obtain a solution to this requirement from SBIR. This requirement is to proceed as a single source acquisition due to vendors not being capable of fulfilling the requirement. As a result, it has been determined to be in the best interest of the Government to proceed with a single source acquisition to SBIR, the vendor for this custom Infrared Scene Projectors Windows requirement. The anticipated contract award date is 14 April 2026. Any responses to this NOCA shall include the subject line �F1T0EB5260A101 � NOCA Custom Infrared Scene Projector Windows� and be submitted to Logan Deming, Contract Specialist, Email: logan.deming@us.af.mil and to the Contracting Officer Amanda Jardine at amanda.jardine.1@us.af.mil no later than 1300 on 11 March 2026. No telephone responses will be accepted. Any information submitted by respondents to this Notice of Contract Action is strictly voluntary. To the maximum extent possible, please submit non-proprietary information. Any proprietary information submitted should be identified as such and will be properly protected from disclosure. No classified information shall be submitted. Any response submitted by respondents to this Notice of Contract Action constitutes consent for that submission to be reviewed by Government personnel. DISCLAIMER AND NOTICE: This is a courtesy Notice of Contract Action only and does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that AFTC/PZZC, will take procurement action in this matter. This is NOT a request for proposals, applications, proposal abstracts, or quotation. This courtesy Notice of Contract Action only shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Government. Further, the Government will NOT be responsible nor reimburse any submitters of information for any cost incurred in furnishing this information.
