Single Source Justification Summary

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a repair and calibration services contract. The 49 CMS/MXMD contracting activity is procuring repair and calibration services for a Fluke 96040A RF Reference Source that currently fails in-house calibration and cannot be adjusted to meet required specifications. The required services include diagnosing the underlying fault, repairing or replacing necessary components, and performing final calibration to return the unit to fully operational specifications. The contracting officer determined that Fluke Electronics Corporation is the only reasonably available single source for this requirement.

The justification asserts that Fluke Electronics Corporation possesses exclusive proprietary product information necessary to successfully diagnose, repair, and calibrate to OEM standards, and that no other repair centers in the United States are authorized by Fluke to perform such repairs. The document notes that using an unauthorized vendor would introduce unacceptable risk to mission operations due to indeterminate turnaround times and inability to certify repairs to OEM standards. Post-repair calibrations must be traceable to the SI (International System of Units) through National Measurement Institutes such as NIST, which only the OEM can certify. Market research confirmed no alternative vendors could safely and effectively provide these services. The contracting officer documented that awarding a sole-source contract directly to Fluke is a better use of government funds than purchasing new equipment at an estimated cost of $72,155.54. The document is dated August 13, 2026, and signed by Brett T. Moore, Contracting Officer.
