This is a Brand Name/Sole Source Justification document for a federal contract procurement.

The government seeks to procure calibration equipment and related supplies from Additel Corporation on a sole-source basis. The required items include: a Reference Dry Well Calibrator (33°C to 700°C, Insert B, 110V with Process Calibrator Option, Part # ADT87PC-700-E-110V); a 100 ohm Secondary PRT with 90-degree bend at 9.75" from tip with Lemo smart connector and 2-meter cable (Part # AM1751-BEND-ADT); a Carry Case for the calibrators with wheels (Part # 9915-878); and shipping services. The justification cites FAR 13.106-1(b)(ii) for the particular brand-name item exception to full and open competition. The Government certifies that these items are compatible with existing calibration systems used by the Navy Calibration Standards Program and that the Additel equipment provides unique high-temperature annealing capability essential for restoring Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometers damaged during international shipment. The justification emphasizes that alternate manufacturers would create unacceptable delays in fulfilling Navy calibration requirements, substantial duplication of work costs estimated in the six figures, and operational inflexibility compared to the portable Additel system. The Contracting Officer (N6426726Q4230) approved the sole-source award to Additel Corporation with digital signature on August 4, 2026.
