The requirement includes the CMM; required probes, stylus kit, workstation, CALYPSO/PiWeb software licenses and maintenance; delivery; installation; ISO-based acceptance testing; training; warranty; and technical support.
The Government intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price contract as a sole source, as implemented by 41 U.S.C. 1901 and RFO 12.201-1, because the requirement is available from only one responsible source.
