This is a Justification for Sole Source procurement under FAR 13.106-1(b) for a contract valued between $15,000 and $350,000.

The procurement is for precision measurement instruments and accessories manufactured exclusively by TESA/Brown & Sharpe (Division of Hexagon). The contracting officer is DLA Weapons Support Puget Sound, and the justification was signed on October 16, 2025. The required materials include 29 INTRIMIK Inside Micrometers in various sizes (ranging from 0.7 inches to 7.0 inches) with quantities of 3 units each, and 14 Setting Rings in various sizes with quantities of 2 units each. The estimated total delivery time is up to 12 weeks ARO. The justification cites the unique design features of TESA/Brown & Sharpe INTRIMIK Internal Micrometers as the sole basis for the restriction—specifically their thread-machined measuring cone design respecting the ABBE principle, which minimizes measurement error and provides analog reading capabilities with a ratchet for setting. The materials are identified as direct replacements for existing equipment currently in inventory at PSNS toolrooms and approved for purchase by the S/52 calibration lab. The document certifies that the statements and information provided are complete and correct, and that full and open competition is precluded by this sole-source justification.
