Intent to Sole Source - Laser Tracker System Calibration

The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is sole sourcing calibration and certified maintenance services for nine Automated Precision Inc. (API) Laser Tracker Systems, including four R80 Radian Plus units, two R80 Radian units, and three R50 Radian units, along with Unplanned Parts & Repair support. This action is justified under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and implemented through FAR 6.302-1, as API is the original equipment manufacturer and the only responsible source capable of performing the work due to its exclusive ownership of proprietary calibration software, diagnostic tools, and approved metrology processes. The requirement is mission-critical to maintain precision measurement standards for shipyard operations, and any non-OEM service poses unacceptable risks to accuracy, system integrity, and compliance with NAVSEA METCAL Technical Warrant Holder standards as outlined in NAVSEA Letters 04RM/4391 and 04RM/4392. All services must be performed by API at their facility, with acceptance tied directly to their certification, and no other vendor can meet the technical requirements. The solicitation number is N3904026P0079, posted on June 30, 2026, with a response deadline of June 24, 2026, and the contract will be awarded on a firm-fixed-price basis under simplified acquisition procedures. Performance is required at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Maine, with contracting office located in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. No competitive evaluation will occur, and the acquisition includes no specified pricing, line items, or contract value due to its sole-source nature, while packaging, marking, and transportation details remain undefined. The contracting officer is Anthony Barker, and the point of contact is Courtney Edwards, with no COTR or COR identified. API’s CAGE code is 51HZ0, and the NAICS code is 811210, with no set-aside applicable.
