Optical comparator

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is procuring an optical comparator system through solicitation SPMYM225Q2268, specifically seeking a Rosco C-Vision Floor Model optical comparator with comprehensive accessories and components. The procurement includes an extended X-axis travel module, oblique and square-on surface illumination, overhead light shield, rotary staging vise, 5" staging centers, installation, calibration, training, and measurement software. The system must feature precise axis travel capabilities (18" X-axis, 9" Y-axis, 2" Z-axis), advanced imaging with green LED ring light and coaxial illumination, color camera and monitor system, and CNC 3-axis controls with measurement analysis using GD&T callouts. The solicitation was issued on July 18, 2025, with a tight deadline requiring offers to be submitted by 10:00 AM on July 22, 2025. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 334519 with a size standard of 600 employees, and the contract will be awarded on a fixed-price basis with government inspection and acceptance at the destination.

This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside, restricting participation to qualifying small business concerns. The procurement is structured as a sole source acquisition justified by the need for compatibility with existing OGP machines already in use at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard's toolmakers area, with OGP as the manufacturer and Rosco Precision Machinery serving as the authorized dealer. The contract requires delivery of one unit of each line item by July 25, 2025, to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington. The system specifications indicate support for workpieces up to 250 pounds and include a harsh environment package with positive pressure to prevent optics contamination. The sole source justification emphasizes maintaining consistency with current equipment to avoid additional training requirements for mechanics and reduce maintenance burdens. While specific award values are not disclosed in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of the optical comparator system with its advanced features and accessories suggests a substantial procurement value.
