LECO RC612 Moisture Analyzer

Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility has established a sole-source contract with LECO Corporation for the annual preventative maintenance and calibration of a LECO RC612 Moisture Analyzer located at the Trident Refit Facility Bangor in Silverdale, Washington. The contract, identified by solicitation number N4523A26Q0010, is valued at $8,065.00 for a base period of performance from March 14, 2026, to March 13, 2027, with the potential for renewal for up to three additional years. LECO Corporation was selected as the only responsible source due to its status as the Original Equipment Manufacturer and its proprietary rights to the technology, ensuring that maintenance is performed to OEM standards to prevent weld flux moisture issues that could lead to weld failures. The scope of work requires a factory-trained service engineer to provide all necessary personnel, tools, parts, and travel to conduct electrical and mechanical inspections, plumbing verification, reagent replacement, and system cleaning. Calibration must be performed using LECO or NIST-traceable standards with zero deviation from OEM specifications. Key deliverables include electronic PDF reports for both preventative maintenance and calibration, which must be submitted within 30 days of service completion. Performance will be monitored by the government through a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan, and while no security clearances are required, contractor personnel must obtain physical security badges for facility access.
