Notice of Contract Action for a Sole Source Procurement SUBJECT: NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT FOR ONE (1) Kulite Sensor XTEH-10LAC-190-100A DESC: INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT WITH Kulite Semiconductor Products, Inc. This acquisition is a small business set-aside. The Air Force, Edwards Air Force Base, CA intends to award a Sole Source purchase order to Kulite Semiconductor Products, Inc., One Willow Tree Road, Leonia, NJ 07605-2239. The Sole Source purchase will be for a quantity of 30 of this commercial item: MODEL: Super High Temperature Low G Sensitivity IS Pressure Transducer Kulite Sensor XTEH-10LAC-190-100A Description: The XTEH Series pressure transducers feature a very wide operating temperature range and an extremely low G sensitivity. These characteristics make these devices ideal for turbine engine testing especially in the areas of stall avoidance and active stability control. Other equally demanding applications in the industry may also benefit from the ruggedness of these devices.
