This is a Brand Name/Sole Source Justification (SAM) document for a procurement action by the Navy Calibration Laboratory in Norco, California.

The procurement includes 40 line items of Pratt & Whitney precision measurement and calibration equipment, representing the minimum requirements verified by technical and requirements personnel. Items include Labmaster Universal Measurement Systems, various internal probes, thread probes, dual probes, reference standards, precision positioners, gage blocks, blade probes, micrometer holders, adjustable force systems, flat probes, torque wrenches, magnetic wire holders, Vee blocks, riser disc assemblies, backstops, angle blocks, probe positioners, horseshoe clamps, V-blocks for cylinders, lead gear probes, lead fixture assemblies, small diameter flat probes, thread-micrometer kits, gage block fixtures, V-clamps, master cylinders, tables with shelving, master ring gages, and associated training services (factory setup, training, and GageCal software training). Quantities range from 2 to 4 units per line item.

The justification cites FAR 13.106-1(b)(i) as the regulatory authority for soliciting from a single source. The rationale establishes that the specified manufacturer and models are necessary to maintain compliance with established Navy calibration requirements and ensure compatibility with existing Navy-owned calibration standards and equipment. Pratt & Whitney is identified as the original manufacturer with no authorized distributors for this standard, making it the only approved source capable of providing items while ensuring authenticity, configuration control, and compliance with applicable specifications. The document indicates the Navy Calibration Laboratory will assess the feasibility of future competition if another potential source emerges. The contracting officer approval is dated August 5, 2026, with a customer date of July 31, 2026.
