This is a Brand Name Justification document for a limited source acquisition by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) located in Panama City, Florida.

The acquisition will award a firm fixed price (FFP) purchase order for AMETEK brand digital pressure gauges on a brand name basis. The Government is procuring three different AMETEK XP2i gauge models: the XP2i 1 Bar Gauge (part number 1BARXP2I-F4, qty 3), the XP2i 20 Bar Gauge (part number 20BARXP2I-F4, qty 3), and the XP2i 300 Bar Gauge (part number 300BARXP2I-F4, qty 3). The total dollar value is not exceeding $350,000.00. This action will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures and will be limited to authorized resellers and distributors of AMETEK brand digital gauges.

The justification asserts that the AMETEK XP2i is the only brand of specialized digital pressure gauge meeting Government needs due to its unique combination of calibration-grade accuracy (±0.1% of reading), active digital temperature compensation, rugged IP67 sealed design with corrosion-resistant marine-grade aluminum housing, pressure-safety/relief-valve testing capability with peak/PSV mode, optional onboard data logging up to 32,000 points, and availability across pressure ranges from vacuum through 15,000 psi. The document states that procuring an alternative system would result in higher measurement uncertainty, particularly at lower pressure ranges, and that the XP2i's percent-of-reading capability can replace five or more typical test gauges in some applications.
