Quick Summary
The Department of the Army is conducting a Sources Sought for market research to identify small businesses capable of providing the Huntron Access DH2 PCA Testing Probe for the Air Force Repair Enhancement Program (AFREP) at Selfridge ANGB, MI. This notice aims to determine if small business representation is available for this specialized equipment. Responses are due March 25, 2026.
Purpose
This is a Special Notice for market research, not a request for offers or pricing. The government seeks to identify small businesses with the capability and interest to supply the Huntron Access DH2 Prober. While the manufacturer, Huntron LLC, is currently the only known small business supplier, this Sources Sought aims to validate market availability.
Requirement Details
The Huntron Access DH2 is a robotic "flying probe" system used for automated testing and diagnostics of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and electronic assemblies. It is essential for the Air Force Repair Enhancement Program (AFREP) mission, enabling component-level troubleshooting and repair of mission-critical assets, thereby saving costs and improving mission readiness.
Context & Justification
A Limited Competition Justification document indicates the government's rationale for potentially pursuing a sole-source acquisition. Key factors include:
- Incompatibility: Significant investment in Huntron-specific Test Program Sets (TPS) that are incompatible with other manufacturers' equipment.
- Standardization: AFREP and other repair depots have standardized on Huntron equipment since 1986, with Technical Orders (TOs) based on these systems.
- Specialized Training: Technicians have extensive training on Huntron equipment, making retraining on different systems costly.
- Cost Avoidance: Redeveloping a new TPS library would be prohibitively expensive. Despite this, the current Sources Sought is specifically to determine if other small businesses can meet this highly specialized requirement.
Response Details
Interested vendors should respond via email to the Points of Contact listed in the posting by the closing date. Suppliers must be registered and maintain an active account with SAM.gov to conduct business with the Government.
