66--MULTIMETER

The contract involves a sole-source acquisition of two military-grade digital multimeters—Fluke 189IMN/AN and Fluke 1587FC—under solicitation SPE7MX-25-R-X131, awarded to Fluke Electronics Corp. (CAGE 4U744) through DLA Land and Maritime in Columbus, Ohio. This procurement is justified under FAR 6.302-1 as a case of only one responsible source due to unique engineering controls, proprietary design, and absence of viable technical data packages, preventing competition. The contract is structured as an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) with a five-year performance period, including one base year and four one-year option periods. A total of 217 units of NSN 6625-01-509-8205 and 302 units of NSN 6625-01-553-3137 are required, both classified under AMSC C for engineering-controlled parts and AMSC Z for commercial-off-the-shelf items, ensuring source control while acknowledging commercial nature. Alternative offers are permitted under DLAD Procurement Note L04 but require formal technical evaluation and do not alter the sole-source award. The acquisition relies on a previously approved justification from contract SPE7LX-18-R-X131, and the solicitation was posted on the DLA Internet Bid Board System after a market survey conducted via SAM.gov that yielded no other capable vendors. The contract is firm-fixed price, with pricing determined through price analysis and historical benchmarks rather than detailed cost realism, though no unit or total contract value is provided. Delivery and acceptance are to occur at the contracting office’s location in Columbus, Ohio, with government oversight for quality assurance through AMSC compliance and prior source certifications. CUI handling is required under the FED ONLY distribution statement and PROCURE/SSEL category. Dealers Fotronic and International Television, both small businesses, were contacted but are not eligible for award as they are resellers of the sole source. The contract does not specify packaging, preservation, marking, or barcoding standards beyond the use of NSNs, CAGE codes, and AMSC tags, nor does it include formal evaluation factors, COR/COTR appointments, or payment instructions beyond the agency’s general contracting office address.
