Quick Summary

The Department of the Army is conducting market research via a Sources Sought notice to identify small business capabilities for providing the Huntron Access DH2 Prober system. This equipment is critical for the Air Force Repair Enhancement Program (AFREP) at Selfridge ANGB, MI. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside. Responses are due March 25, 2026.

Purpose

This Special Notice serves as market research to determine if small businesses possess the interest or capability to supply the Huntron Access DH2 Prober. The government is specifically seeking small business representation, as the manufacturer, Huntron Inc., is currently the only known small business supplier. This posting is not a request for offers or pricing.

Requirement Details

The Huntron Access DH2 is a robotic "flying probe" system designed for automated testing and diagnostics of printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies. It is essential for the Air Force Repair Enhancement Program (AFREP) mission, enabling component-level troubleshooting and repair of mission-critical assets. The system allows technicians to diagnose failures on complex Circuit Card Assemblies (CCAs), leading to local repair, cost savings, and improved mission readiness.

Context & Justification

A Limited Competition Justification document indicates a strong preference for the Huntron Access DH2 Prober due to significant existing infrastructure and investment. Key reasons include:

Incompatibility: Extensive Huntron-specific Test Program Sets (TPS) are incompatible with other manufacturers' equipment, making a switch costly and time-consuming.
Standardization: AFREP and other repair depots have standardized on Huntron equipment since 1986, with Technical Orders (TOs) predicated on its use.
Specialized Training: Technicians have undergone extensive training on Huntron systems, and retraining on a different system would incur substantial costs and reduce operational readiness.
Cost Avoidance: Redeveloping, testing, and validating a new TPS library would far exceed the cost of acquiring the Huntron system, undermining the program's cost-saving objectives. This context suggests that any future solicitation for this specific equipment would likely be limited to Huntron or its authorized distributors.
