About this opportunity
Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, under Naval Sea Systems Command, has announced its intent to sole source calibration and certified maintenance services for nine Automated Precision Inc. (API) Laser Tracker Systems to API, invoking 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 (only one responsible source). The requirement covers four R80 Radian Plus units, two R80 Radian units, and three R50 Radian units, plus Unplanned Parts & Repair support.
API is designated the sole source because it is the original equipment manufacturer and exclusive holder of proprietary calibration processes, software, diagnostic tools, and approved methodologies required to perform certified work to factory new standards. Portsmouth Naval Shipyard must satisfy NAVSEA Metrology and Calibration Technical Warrant Holder requirements, which only API can meet. Other vendors can verify equipment specifications but lack access to the proprietary technology necessary for true calibration. Without OEM maintenance, the shipyard faces equipment degradation, loss of measurement accuracy, and extended downtime affecting precision measurement operations critical to ship maintenance and repair.
The justification was certified by James Welsh on 05/06/2026 and approved by Contracting Officer Anthony Barker on 04/20/2026. The notice is categorized under NAICS 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC J049 (Maintenance and Repair Shop Equipment). The notice due date of 06/24/2026 has passed as of the posting date of 06/30/2026.
Notice text
This notice serves as the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard's intent to sole source the following requirement:
Calibration and certified maintenance services for nine (9) Automated Precision Inc. (API) Laser Tracker Systems to include: four (4) R80 Radian Plus units, two (2) R80 Radian units, and three (3) R50 Radian units, as well as Unplanned Parts & Repair (UPP&R) support.
The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 (Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements).
Automated Precision Inc. (API) (CAGE Code: 51HZ0) is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and thus owns the proprietary data, software, diagnostic tools, and approved processes required to perform this certified work.
