Laser Tracker Refresh

The Air Force Sustainment Center, through the 76 CMXG at Tinker Air Force Base, is issuing a pre-solicitation notice for the procurement of eight Leica laser trackers, scanners, and accessories from Hexagon Metrology Intelligence, Inc. under a sole-source acquisition authority. This is a firm-fixed price commercial contract for precision laser measurement equipment that will be used to scan fixtures and aircraft assemblies for calibration, repair, and first article checks supporting Navy E-6, KC-135, B-1, B-2, and E-3 aircraft. The required equipment includes six Leica AT-960 Trackers, one Leica AT-800 Tracker, and one Hexagon 7-axis Absolute Arm with associated accessories and accessories, along with a 1-year warranty commencing after delivery. While this is a pre-solicitation notice and quotes will not be accepted until the formal Request for Quote is posted, interested parties should note the pre-solicitation due date of April 13, 2026, and that registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) at sam.gov is required for any award consideration.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and represents a sole-source contract award to the incumbent contractor, Hexagon Metrology Intelligence, Inc., based on market research confirming that Hexagon is the original equipment manufacturer and sole provider of these specific laser tracker systems. The justification for sole-source acquisition emphasizes that transitioning to alternative systems would require substantial personnel retraining (40 additional hours per operator), equipment recalibration, fixture data conversion, and operational disruptions that would create significant inefficiencies. The equipment must be delivered within 120 days after receipt of award, and the contract falls under NAICS code 334513 (Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables) and PSC code 6650 (Optical Instruments, Test Equipment, Components and Accessories). No specific dollar value range is provided in the pre-solicitation notice; however, the equipment is also available under GSA schedule contract 47QSMS24D008A, which may provide pricing reference points for potential competitors or interested observers.
