Notice of Intent to Sole Source for Hydrogen Chloride Detectors
The Air Force Global Strike Command intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to RKI Instruments, Inc. for approximately 86 brand-name hydrogen chloride gas detection systems. These systems are required for real-time monitoring to protect personnel and equipment at Missile Alert Facilities across three ICBM wings located at F.E. Warren AFB (WY), Malmstrom AFB (MT), and Minot AFB (ND). The sole-source justification cites the need for interoperability with existing infrastructure, nuclear certification requirements, and standardization across all three wings. The contractor must deliver new systems with manuals, warranty documentation, calibration kits, and consumables to the specified bases, with government personnel handling installation. No budget amount or submission timeline is specified in the description.
