Tender Details

1. INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE (BRAND NAME)
The Air Force Test Center, Services Contracting Branch (AFTC/PZIOB) at Edwards AFB, CA, intends to solicit and award a purchase order on a brand-name restricted basis for a Delta H Defender Aerospace Steel Dual Chamber Furnace (Model: DEF-DC-RH-241236/2000-RH-241636/2000-SR). The statutory authority permitting this restriction is RFO 12.201-1, 41 U.S.C. 1901, restricting competition.
The 412 MXS/MXMF requires this specific brand and model to ensure seamless interoperability with existing test, calibration, and control systems (specifically the Eurotherm Nanodac recorder/controller) already in use on similar equipment within the section, thereby eliminating the need for redundant specialized calibration equipment and additional training.
2. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT
The 412 MXS/MXMF has a need for a dual chamber, high-temperature inert atmosphere furnace based on the addition of new alloys requiring pre- and post-heat treatment after welding, and the use of new steel alloys in aircraft and engine components. This furnace must include a programmable Eurotherm dual recorder/controller for independent program operations (set point or programmable modes), high limit safety interlocks, roll-away oil quench tank (16" high part capacity), and oxidation resistant lining with heavy duty casters.
Period of Performance / Delivery: 10-12 Weeks ARO
