This document is a Brand Name/Sole Source Justification form for Mitutoyo XXX Master Ring Gages, used by the Navy Calibration Labs. The procurement is for specific steel master rings in various sizes (.1200", .2500", 1.0000", 3.0000", and 5.0000" Class XXX), along with a label and shipping. The Navy requires these precision measurement tools to calibrate quality control applications for length measurements, including shaft and pin measurements, bore mics, pipe threading, and engine components for ships.

The document justifies the sole-source procurement by noting these specific Mitutoyo gages are a Calibration Standard in the National Calibration Equipment (NCE) List and include 2 Instrument Calibration Procedures (ICPs). The Corona Division indicates no plans to compete future contracts for these supplies, but will assess potential competition if another source emerges. The procurement is critical because alternative models would cause significant delays in modifying ICPs, potentially requiring months of research, reviews, and approvals across technical, financial, and leadership channels.
