Synopsis:
This is a Sole Source synopsis published for informational purposes only.
The United States Air Force Test Center/Directorate of Contracting (AFTC/PZZG), Edwards AFB, CA intends to issue a sole source contract to Elma Electronic Incorporated located at 44350 S Grimmer BLVD, Fremont CA 94538-6385 to supply VPX switches at Edwards AFB, CA. The contract will be executed by means of other than full and open competition, due to Curtiss - Elma Electronics being the only capable vendor to execute requirement.
In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows:
The ComEth4591a is a sole-source item manufactured by E Interface Concept and Elma Electronic Inc is the North America authorized Distributor. It is the only currently available VPX switch that meets the FOX BOX chassis design specification, SOSA 1.0 compliance, and conduction-cooled ruggedization requirements.Market research conducted on 22 Sep 2025 identified five potential vendors (DAP, New Wave DV, Elma, Pixus, Curtiss-Wright). While multiple suppliers could provide other FOX BOX components, only Elma responded with a feasible VPX switch solution, and AATC has already funded NRE to adapt their design.
