    HWD Maint Single Source Redacted_Redacted.pdf
    The United States Air Force is issuing a sole-source contract to Dynatest US Inc. for the annual service, maintenance, overhaul, and training of four Dynatest Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD) systems. The contract will ensure comprehensive maintenance that includes inspections, software updates, calibrations, and a 12-month warranty on parts and workmanship. It also encompasses hands-on training for personnel, essential for the operation of these specialized HWD systems used in pavement evaluation. The need for this contract arises from Dynatest being the sole provider of proprietary software and support for their equipment. A sources sought notice indicated no other capable sources could perform the required services, with one response failing to meet the necessary criteria. Maintaining the current systems is more cost-effective than purchasing new ones. The Air Force will proactively research market options for future contracts while the ongoing requirement for Dynatest support highlights the critical role these systems play in maintaining operational readiness and data reliability for airfield assessments.
