NAVSEA Calibration Services

Naval Sea Systems Command established this Master BPA for calibration services on August 1, 2022, with a shared ceiling of $1 billion and ordering authority through July 31, 2027—approximately 1 year and 2 weeks of ordering period remaining.

Three task orders totaling $31 thousand in combined potential value have been issued since March 2023, with one order placed annually through February 2025. All $31 thousand has been obligated. The vehicle shows minimal activity to date relative to its ceiling: fewer than three task orders over three years, and only a single prime contractor—Tektronix, Inc.—has been awarded work.

All three orders are unrestricted (no set-aside designation). Task orders procure calibration services for specific test and measurement equipment: model MS2720T, model S362E, model RSA7100A, and model RSA5126B/B040338. Each order carries a firm fixed price and spans 2 to 5 months. Individual task-order ceilings range from $3,548.65 to $14,246.85.

Customer concentration is split between Naval Sea Systems Command (2 orders, $27 thousand combined potential value) and the DOD Missile Defense Agency (1 order, $4 thousand combined potential value).

The vehicle's very low obligated value against its $1 billion ceiling and sparse ordering rate over three years indicate either narrow end-use requirements within NAVSEA, limited adoption of the vehicle across the fleet, or both. BD professionals should clarify with the contracting office whether the BPA is actively used, whether additional primes are encouraged or accepted on task orders, and whether competitive ordering is anticipated before the July 2027 ordering deadline. The minimal pipeline suggests this vehicle is a specialized, low-volume vehicle rather than a high-velocity procurement channel.
