12733 - SSJ CNC CMM Calibration Tools - Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for the purchase of Renishaw XM60, XC80 MULTI AXIS CALIBRATOR KIT, XR20 ROTARY AXIS, and QC20 BALLBAR KIT with mounting accessories for the 309th MXSS at Hill AFB. The contract (PR #12733) is being awarded to Quality Tech Solutions, a small disadvantaged business located in Byron, Georgia, as the sole authorized distributor of Renishaw equipment in North America.

The justification explains that the 309th MXSS currently uses Renishaw equipment for CNC and CMM calibration and alignment, and switching to another brand would require replacing existing equipment due to Renishaw's proprietary software and hardware. Market research confirmed Quality Tech Solutions as the only authorized Renishaw distributor, as verified by the OEM on October 4, 2024. The contracting officer determined this single-source procurement is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The document was signed on November 6, 2024, by the contracting officer Hideo Mera (GS-13).
