This document is a Brand Name/Sole Source Justification form for procuring a Fluke Micro-Bath Thermometer Calibrator (Model 7103-156-TRAN) for the Navy. The specific item is a Fluke Micro-Bath Thermometer Calibrator, Part #1657611, with a quantity of 1 EA, operating from -30C to 125C. The calibrator is utilized at Navy Calibration Labs for calibrating Humidity Generators, Liquid Flow Calibrators, Electric Flowmeter Calibrating Stand, and other Test and Measurement Diagnostic Equipment. The justification cites the need for this specific brand to prevent unacceptable delays in fulfilling agency requirements and avoid substantial duplication of costs. The Corona Division has determined that procuring a different model would impact calibration processes and potentially delay mission readiness for ships and submarines, and therefore has no plans to compete future contracts for these supplies.
