Justification (26P0042).pdf

This document is an Exception to Fair Opportunity (J&A 26-s04) justifying the use of other than full and open competition for a federal procurement by SERMC through the Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville (FLJC).

The procurement is for complete system inspection, mandatory upgrades, and ISO 17025 accredited calibration certificate services traceable to international standards using ASME 889.4.19 standard, with optional years for below equipment. The requiring activity seeks these services from a single source based on exclusive licensing agreements. FARO Technologies, Inc. is identified as the sole developer and manufacturer of the FaroArm and ScanArm portable coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and related laser tracking, software, and calibration services. The justification cites FARO's proprietary knowledge, data, and specialized equipment required for service, calibration, and upgrades, along with exclusive licensing agreements limiting availability from authorized distributors or technical representatives. The procurement request/solicitation number is 1301355633, with a required delivery/performance period of 07/01/2026 to 06/30/2027. The estimated dollar value is $0.00, indicating this is a template or planning document. The statutory authority for sole source procurement is 41 U.S.C. 1901 as implemented by FAR 13.501(a). The document includes technical certification, contracting officer certification, legal sufficiency review, and approval sections, all of which appear blank, suggesting this is an unsigned draft awaiting completion and approval before execution.
