Justification_Redacted.pdf

This is a Brand Name/Sole Source Justification (SAM≤SAT) document for a federal procurement action.

The government is procuring installation and training services for a 2465A Gas Piston Gauge System (Item #2121788) in the quantity of one, along with associated travel expenses. The justification is submitted under FAR 13.106-1(b)(i), authorizing solicitation from a single source. The contracting officer, WREN.KELSEY.REBECCA, digitally signed the justification on April 15, 2026. The rationale for sole-source procurement centers on the requirement that OEM-certified personnel from Fluke Electronics are the only qualified providers capable of delivering expert training on the Gas Piston Gauge System, as these individuals possess the requisite subject matter expertise. Additionally, procuring from an alternative manufacturer would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements and would limit the government's ability to obtain the specialized training necessary for system operation. The Corona Division has indicated no current plans to compete future contracts for these supplies and services, though it will reassess competition feasibility if alternative sources emerge.
