The Air Force Test Center (AFTC) at Holloman AFB, NM, announces its intent to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Humanetics Innovative Solutions, Inc. (CAGE: 0TUR1) for a proprietary kit of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts.
The parts are for the repair and sustainment of two government-owned, mission-essential Anthropomorphic Test Devices (ATDs), models LOIS-9 and LARD-23. These assets are currently unserviceable and the parts are required to return them to a mission-capable state in support of the 846th Test Squadron's critical aircraft egress system testing mission.
The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." This acquisition is being conducted using commercial product procedures under FAR Part 12.
The justification for this sole-source award is as follows:
Humanetics Innovative Solutions, Inc. is the OEM and the only source capable of providing the required parts. The Government does not own the proprietary technical data package (TDP), drawings, or manufacturing specifications for these systems.

A formal letter from the OEM has confirmed they are the sole designer, manufacturer, and seller of these components and do not use any authorized resellers.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals, and no solicitation document is available. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which shall be considered by the agency. A determination by the Government...
