FROM: OC-ALC/OBCA for 76 MXSG

SUBJECT: Sole Source Justification for M23-019 7250LP 2060 inH2O Pressure Controller Calibrator

1. 76 MXSG request the purchase of One (1) 7250 series Low Pressure Calibrator. The 7250LP will remove the current limitations on the Pneumatic Test Stands giving the customer the accuracy originally requested when the stand was initially put into place. The improved accuracy will give the customer the confidence that they are selling a quality unit.

2. Pneumatic Test Stand P/N: 9675726-4, 9675736-1 thru 9675736-6, Require an Accuracy of +/-

0.06 inH2O for pressure Transducer DPOAB. The standard used to test this item must be four times better which requires a standard capable of providing an accuracy of +/- .02 inH2O at a range of 24 inH2O. The Fluke 7250LP is capable of meeting this type of accuracy. The ability to meet this requirement will remove the existing limits on the test stand.

3. Fluke Electronics is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the equipment.

OBCA reached out to the OEM and was advised there are no distributors authorized to sell their equipment. The proposed sole source vendor is the only vendor that can satisfy the Government’s requirement.

Fluke Electronics Address: PO BOX 9090 * Everett, WA 98206-9090 Phone number: 877.355.3225 CAGE code: 02WJ6 Type Business: Large Business

4. Market research was performed reviewing Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) and System for Award

Management (SAM) databases using North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code (334513) looking for companies that could provide a 7250LP 2060 inH2O Pressure Controller Calibrator. A review of small businesses to include 8(a), HUBZone, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business, and Women Owned Small Business was conducted in search of a company that could provide a 7250LP 2060 inH2O Pressure Controller Calibrator. In review there is one (1) source that can provide this service for this acquisition.

5. The Government will continue to monitor the market and conduct market research surveys to determine potential future sources to try and avoid future single source acquisitions.

6. I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
