Sole Source Justification_KO approved_redacted.pdf

This document is a Sole Source/Brand Name Justification Memorandum for a three-year contract (with 2 option years) for preventative maintenance, calibration, and recertification of two environmentally controlled laboratory spaces with Precision Environments. The contract requires calibration and recertification using equipment calibrated to National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards, with a focus on maintaining environmental conditions for precision measurement. Precision Environments is identified as the sole source due to being the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with unique expertise in the environmental control systems, possessing proprietary processes for certifying the two bearing laboratories and having developed specialized DDC controllers and high-resolution temperature and humidity sensors.

The solicitation is being conducted by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), with a NAICS code of 541330 and a small business size standard of $47 million. Market research conducted in January 2025 found that other companies lack familiarity with the existing system, making Precision Environments the only vendor capable of providing full service for all aspects of the statement of work. The document includes digital signatures and certifications from the Customer/Requestor, First Line Supervisor, and Contracting Officer, with approval dates in February and March 2025.
