Piston Prover Liquid Flow Calibrator CFP400

The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is procuring one Piston Prover Liquid Flow Calibrator Standard (CFP400) for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Calibration Laboratory in Kittery, Maine. This commercial acquisition seeks a Class 3 calibration equipment with high-flow configuration covering 0.4 to 400 gallons per minute, designed to calibrate various liquid flowmeters including turbine, variable area, positive displacement, and Coriolis types with measurement uncertainty not exceeding 0.05% of indication. The procurement requires offerors to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide commercial off-the-shelf equipment from the Original Equipment Manufacturer with standard commercial warranties, along with calibration traceability to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The contract award will be made using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method to a single responsible offeror whose quote fully complies with all solicitation requirements. Responses are due by July 1, 2025, with quotes to be submitted electronically in PDF or MS Word format, and no telephone requests are permitted.

This solicitation does not include any set-aside designations and is open to all responsible sources. No incumbent contractors or potential award values are specified in the documentation. The contract includes multiple deliverables beyond the primary calibration standard, such as calibration certificates, proposed spare parts list, training syllabus, software version description, and installation engineering plan, with delivery required within 30 days after contract award. The calibrator must be capable of handling fluids with viscosities from 0.7 to 100 centistokes and operate in temperatures between 60°F to 85°F with humidity ranges of 20% to 60% relative humidity. Performance will occur at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, where the manufacturer will be responsible for shipping, installation, final setup, and providing on-site training for Navy personnel. The equipment has specific dimensional constraints with maximum dimensions of 98 inches height, 166 inches width, 32 inches depth, and dry weight not exceeding 2,700 pounds.
