Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, specifically FA7022 AMIC DET 2 OL PATRICK PKA, intends to award a sole-source purchase order to AMETEK Advanced Measurement Technology, Inc. for ORTEC High-Purity Germanium (HPGe) Gamma-Ray Detectors and related equipment. This action is justified under FAR 6.103-1, citing AMETEK as the only responsible source. Interested parties must submit responses by April 7, 2026, 11:00 A.M. EST.
Purpose & Overview
This notice serves as a Presolicitation and a Notice of Intent to Award Single Source.

The justification is based on AMETEK being the creator, owner, licensor, and copyright holder of these products, with no authorized resellers in the United States.

The purchase order is for the following specific ORTEC equipment:
- ORTEC GAMMA-X Coaxial N-type HPGe Extra-Low-Background Gamma-Ray Detector (Non-PopTop)
