Gage Block Comparator

The Naval Sea Systems Command is procuring a Gage Block Comparator system through a sole source acquisition with the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Corona Division. This is a commercial item acquisition under FAR Part 12, issued as a combined synopsis and solicitation for which this notice constitutes the only solicitation document. The requirement is structured as an all-or-none procurement, meaning offerors must provide complete quotes covering all specified items and requirements; partial quotes will be rejected as unresponsive. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose quotation is most advantageous to the Government based on evaluation criteria outlined in sections L and M of the solicitation. All responsible sources registered in SAM are eligible to submit quotations in PDF or MS Word format to the email address provided in the posting, with responses due by March 18, 2026. Offerors are responsible for monitoring the website for any amendments to the solicitation, as no telephone requests will be accepted.

This procurement has no set-aside designation and is intended as a sole source award to All Axis Precision, though the solicitation document indicates that all responsible sources may submit quotations for consideration. The incumbent contractor appears to be MAHR, as referenced in the Brand Name/Sole Source Justification document, which identifies the MAHR Gage Block Comparator Model 130B-24 as the established standard currently integrated into six existing Instrument Calibration Procedures supporting approximately 780 assets annually. The justification for sole source procurement cites compatibility requirements with existing systems and notes that procuring an alternative comparator model would require substantial re-evaluation efforts and could delay calibration services by 18-20 months. The specific line items include the comparator unit, an accessory kit, two days of installation and training, and travel; however, specific dollar amounts are not disclosed in the publicly available materials. The place of performance is Beaufort, South Carolina 29904.
