N66604-26-Q-0134 Combined Synopsis/Solicitation

This is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation will be open for less than 30 days, in accordance with FAR 5.203(b). Request for Quotation (RFQ) number is N66604-26- Q-0134.

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to award a five year, Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract to Keysight Technologies, (Cage: 7ZXR5) 1900 Garden Of The Gods RD Colorado Springs, Colorado 80907-3423 on a sole source basis for calibration and repair services of Keysight equipment, in accordance with the Statement of Work (SOW), provided as Attachment 1 and Equipment Model List, provided as Attachment 2.

This requirement is solicited on an unrestricted basis as concurred with by NUWCDIVNPT’s Office of Small Business Programs. The North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is 811210; the Small Business Size Standard is 34 Million Dollars.

NUWCDIVNPT has a requirement to procure Calibration and Repair Services of Keysight components in support of code 7012, Rapid Prototyping, Calibration, and Survivability Branch, specifically the Metrology and Calibration Laboratory (METCAL). Laboratories providing full calibration in support of the Navy METCAL Program must be certified by an accrediting body approved by the NAVSEA METCAL Technical Warrant Holder (TWH) (NAVSEA 04RM) and as required by NAVSEA 09M/050, NAVSEA Policy for Subcontracting Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment. In addition, Laboratories must be accredited to the ANSI/NCSL Z540.3 standard and/or ISO/IEC 17025 Standard. To meet these standards, the testing laboratory must have access to OEM proprietary manuals, calibration procedures, software, firmware, and coefficients required to provide these calibrations. To use a source other than Keysight for calibration services, the NUWCDIVNPT METCAL would have to perform an extensive review of the calibration capability of any interested calibration vendor. This effort would include reviewing its scope of certification and performing pre and post-Test Uncertainty Ratio calculations for every measurement required. This would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements Therefore, no laboratory other than the OEM, Keysight, can fulfill this requirement.

This notice is not a request for competitive quotes. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement which will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future.
