Single Source Justification (SSJ) Below SAT v3 Redacted_Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for Hexagon Calibration services submitted by OLH/PZIMC. The requirement is for Accredited Preventative Maintenance and Calibration of a CMM 7-Axis Absolute Arm, including certification of customer Length Standard Bar and Matte Sphere using Hexagon CMM, collection of B89 Volumetric and SPAT test results, preventative maintenance, and documentation of calibration results with N.I.S.T. traceability.

The justification explains that Hexagon is the sole manufacturer and authorized calibrator of the equipment, as verified through extensive market research. The USAF Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory (PMEL) attempted but was unable to perform the calibration, and other potential vendors (including SAM.gov vendors) either confirmed they could not support the requirement or did not respond. An eBuy RFQ (RFQ1723811) was issued to 12 vendors with zero responses. The document is dated November 21, 2024, and signed by Contracting Officer Dena Bournakis, GS-12. The government plans to evaluate opportunities to remove barriers for future competition, including potential PMEL training by Hexagon, though single source awards may continue unless outside distributors are authorized by the OEM.
