Notice of Intent - Manikin Replacement Parts

The Air Force Test Center (AFTC) at Holloman AFB announces its intent to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Humanetics Innovative Solutions, Inc. for a proprietary kit of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts. The parts are required for the repair and sustainment of two government-owned, mission-essential Anthropomorphic Test Devices (ATDs). The ATDs are currently unserviceable and the parts are needed to return them to a mission-capable state. • The replacement parts are proprietary components of the custom-made manikin systems, originally designed and manufactured by Humanetics Innovative Solutions, Inc. • The parts are required to ensure the form, fit, function, and biofidelic certification of the repaired manikins. • The use of parts from any other manufacturer would invalidate the ATD's airworthiness certification and compromise the integrity and validity of future test data. • The government does not own the technical data package (TDP) for the LOIS and LARD manikin systems, which are proprietary to Humanetics Innovative Solutions, Inc.
