Sole Source Award to Fluke Electronic Corp

The Marine Corps Logistics Command is awarding a sole-source firm-fixed-price contract to Fluke Electronics Corp under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), due to the exclusive proprietary nature of the Fluke 5522A multi-product calibrators. Only Fluke, with its CAGE code 4U744, possesses the proprietary algorithms, diagnostic tools, and exclusive licensing rights necessary to perform calibration and repair services that maintain NIST traceability and meet the equipment’s original manufacturer specifications. The requirement covers sixteen units, with services to be performed at Fluke’s facility in Everett, Washington, and delivery to the Government’s receiving point at MDMC PPA in Albany, Georgia. No competitive solicitation will be issued, and no small business set-asides or socioeconomic evaluations apply. The contract value is not expected to exceed $250,000, and no formal evaluation factors or weighted criteria are used due to the non-competitive nature of the award. The sole-source justification hinges on technical exclusivity, with no viable alternatives capable of restoring or certifying the equipment to required standards. The Contracting Officer, MSgt Jonathan Sanchez, certified the action on November 24, 2025, and SSgt Jazelle Gomes is the primary point of contact for administrative inquiries. Payment will be processed through the contracting office in Albany, Georgia, though specific invoicing methods and accounting codes are not detailed. Packaging, marking, and shipping terms are not specified, as the procurement centers on specialized service delivery rather than physical goods. Acceptance of the work occurs at the delivery location, with strict adherence to OEM procedures and NIST traceability required for formal government acceptance.
