About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source contract to Air Techniques International (ATI), division of Hamilton Associates, Inc., for photometer calibration services. The contract will support the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility's Calibration Lab (Shop 52) and is expected to be awarded under simplified acquisition procedures. The five-year contract period will run from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2030, with an estimated value falling under the large business size standard of $34 million for NAICS code 811210. The sole-source justification is based on ATI being the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and the only entity authorized by the Navy METCAL program to calibrate these specific photometer models. This authorization stems from OEM waiver letter 04RM-1911, which mandates that only ATI calibrations meet NAVSEA metrology requirements.
The primary objective of this contract is to establish reliable, accurate, and timely NIST traceable calibration services for Model 2IN photometers that support critical nuclear work and monitor temporary and filtered ventilation systems. While this notice explicitly states it is not a request for competitive quotes, interested parties may submit capability documentation demonstrating their qualifications by September 5, 2025, at 9:00 AM Pacific Time. Responses must be submitted via email to specified contracting personnel and should include detailed technical background and experience relevant to the calibration requirements. All prospective contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for consideration. The government reserves sole discretion to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received, though the strong OEM authorization requirements suggest limited potential for competition.
