This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) from the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division. The BPA is for MTS Systems Corporation's servo-hydraulic test systems and hydraulic power units, with a five-year ordering period through FY29. The procurement covers new MTS test systems (including the MTS Landmark Test System, MTS Model 322 Test Systems, and SilentFlo HPUs), associated services such as installation, commissioning, calibration, on-site shipment, and operator training, and post-purchase maintenance and repair services for both new and legacy equipment.

The acquisition is being pursued as a sole-source procurement under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), with Code 653 technicians and engineers determining that only MTS Systems Corporation's regional USA office can supply new equipment and support maintenance and repair of legacy equipment. The estimated funding will be allocated across fiscal years FY25-FY29, with the government requiring brand commonality across test systems to ensure consistency in electrical specifications, wiring interfaces, and overall functionality. The procurement will support uniaxial testing efforts for the Performance Evaluation Branch, with remaining non-MTS systems intended to be integrated or replaced by MTS systems.
