About this opportunity
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) at Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) is pursuing a sole source procurement for calibration and repair services of government-owned measurement and test equipment under the statutory authority of Title 10, U.S.C. Section 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1. The equipment requiring calibration and repair includes one N9923A FieldFox RF Vector Network Analyzer, one N9918A FieldFox 26.5 GHz Microwave Analyzer, and seven U2065XA USB Wide Dynamic Range Peak and Average Power Sensors (10MHz-50GHz). This acquisition is being conducted under NAICS Code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC J066 (Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuilding of Equipment—Instruments and Laboratory Equipment), utilizing simplified acquisition procedures under FAR 12. The key requirement is that the contractor must be authorized by the U.S. Navy METCAL program and possess NAVSEA-04 audit-certified quality systems with standards traceable to the National Research Council. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on March 10, 2026, with a due date of March 20, 2026.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and is intended as a sole source award to Keysight Technology Inc., the original equipment manufacturer, based on their exclusive authorization and capability to perform certified measurements within the Navy's metrology program. The justification for sole source procurement rests on the "Only One Responsible Source" determination, citing restrictive rights held by Keysight and the manufacturer's exclusive certification under NAVSEA standards. No other sources have been authorized by the U.S. Navy METCAL program, and alternative sources will not be accepted for certified measurements. The contract will be awarded on a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) basis under simplified acquisition procedures, which means it falls below the simplified acquisition threshold and does not require full and open competition. The supporting sole source justification memorandum was approved by the Technical/Requirements Certification official on February 26, 2026, and by Contracting Officer Denise J. Swain on March 5, 2026.
