The U.S. Air Force Test Center is issuing a Notice of Intent to Sole Source a Delta H Defender Series Dual‑Chamber Aerospace Heat‑Treating Furnace System for the 412th Maintenance Squadron at Edwards AFB, CA.

Delivery is expected within 10‑12 weeks after order receipt, with a two‑year manufacturer warranty. • Dual‑chamber furnace, 500 °F–2,000 °F, 480 V/3‑Phase, 5,500 lb, inert‑atmosphere design. • Includes Eurotherm programmable controller, AMS2750‑compliant monitoring, and extensive sensor/thermocouple kits. • One‑time upgrade kit, automated quench timer, four days on‑site startup, and freight to Edwards AFB. • Sole‑source justification based on existing Delta H equipment, interoperability with Eurotherm Nanodac controllers, and exclusive federal distribution rights. • Capability statements due by 4:00 PM PDT 7 Sept 2026; submissions via email to Eric Romero (primary) and Elsa Ortiz Aguilar (secondary).
