The notice is not a request for competitive quotes. Keysight is the equipment manufacturer and the recommended vendor authorized to calibrate and repair all equipment on the required equipment list. AFRL/RMZB is acquiring the services in support of the AFRL Sensors Directorate (AFRL/RF) at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, under NAICS 811210 and PSC J052. No set-aside is used.
All responsible sources or authorized distributors may submit a capability statement meeting the Performance Work Statement requirements, a quotation, or an exception to the sole-source intent. Submissions go by email to Mr. Jason B. Sav at jason.sav@us.af.mil with the subject line "Notice of Intent SS - Keysight Calibration and Repair Service Agreement." The government will consider responses solely to decide whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
The PWS requires NIST-traceable calibration accepted by the Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory at Wright-Patterson or AFMETCAL, ISO/IEC 17025 certification, and OEM and Technical Order compliance. The contractor bears calibration and repair costs, except the government pays initial shipping to the contractor. Repair order numbers are due within three business days. Only U.S. citizens may access the base unescorted, and foreign nationals require 35 days' advance notice and continuous escort.
