    The document outlines a Single Source Justification for the procurement of two Digital Radiography (DR) systems from Carestream Health Inc. by the 709th MXSS to support Advanced Composite Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI) and Missile X-ray operations. The purchase, estimated at $150,000, is necessitated by the requirement to comply with Technical Order (T.O.) specifications, ensuring compatibility with existing equipment. The analysis indicates that alternative systems would not meet operational needs and would incur unnecessary costs. Initial market research confirmed Carestream as the sole manufacturer of the innovative Industrex image viewing software essential for the compatibility among systems. Although future needs might still mandate single-source justifications due to brand name requirements, the government intends to explore additional vendors to potentially diversify future procurements. The contracting officer, Hideo Mera, has affirmed that only Carestream is adequately positioned to fulfill these specific requirements pursuant to FAR regulations, thereby justifying this procurement action.
    The U.S. Air Force, through the 709 Maintenance Support Squadron (MXSS), is seeking to acquire two digital radiography systems to support operations at the 309 Maintenance Support Group and Ogden Air Logistics Complex. The specifications for the equipment include the 8625600 INDX HPX-DR DRX PLUS 3543 PE PANEL with dimensions of 350 x 430 mm and a weight of 5.3 kg, among other technical requirements such as a pixel pitch of 139 µm and 16-bit A/D conversion. Additionally, required accessories include tether kits, battery chargers, and protective cases. The successful contractor must provide standard commercial warranties and is responsible for delivering the equipment to Hill Air Force Base, Utah. Contact Morgan Nielson for further communication regarding this procurement. This document showcases the Air Force's intent to enhance its operational capabilities through the acquisition of advanced imaging technology.
    The Department of the Air Force's Air Force Sustainment Center (AFMC) has issued a combined synopsis/solicitation (FA8227-25-Q-5006) for the acquisition of two Digital Radiography (DR) systems aimed at enhancing non-destructive inspection capabilities for advanced composite materials and missile components.
