Notice of Intent of Sole Source

The Department of the Navy intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Fluke Corporation for the procurement of specialized vibration data collector and analyzer equipment, including two GETAC C10 controllers, two DP-2 data processors, and one Expert Alert 4.0 software license. This procurement is justified under FAR 6.302-1 and FAR 12.102 due to the exclusive compatibility of Fluke’s Azima DLI system with the existing Vibration Test and Analysis Guide (VTAG) infrastructure used across the U.S. Navy’s DDG-class ships, ensuring continuity of historical vibration data, operational consistency, and mission-critical predictive maintenance capabilities. The equipment is essential for monitoring machinery health aboard ships operating in the 5th and 6th Fleets, with all deliverables required to comply with NAVSEA S9073-AX-SPN-010/MVS and GSO Section 073 standards for vibration measurement, analysis, and certification. The place of performance is Naval Station Rota, Spain, where the equipment will be integrated into the Forward Deployed Regional Maintenance Center’s operations, and formal inspection and acceptance will occur at that location by the U.S. Government. No competitive evaluation process is conducted, and no pricing data, CLIN specifications, or contract value estimates are provided, though the contract structure is firm-fixed-price with no options specified. The solicitation, identified as N6817126QT012 and posted on April 24, 2026, with a response deadline of May 9, 2026, does not include standardized contract clauses, packaging requirements, invoicing instructions, payment details, or certified representations from the contractor, and relies entirely on the technical exclusivity of the vendor to support the non-competitive award.
