Precision Pressure Indicator

The Naval Medical Research Command (NMRC) is procuring a Mensor CPG2500 precision pressure indicator through a sole source contract to Mensor in San Marcos, Texas. The device must include two CPR2550 reference pressure sensors with specific measurement ranges: one channel measuring 0.00 to 15.00 PSI absolute and another measuring 0.00 to 445.00 PSI gauge, along with USB operating instructions in a desktop housing configuration. This specialized equipment is required for experimental chambers used by the Undersea Medicine Department, specifically to measure pressures down to 1000 foot seawater and altitudes up to 35,000 feet above sea level. Vendors must be authorized Mensor resellers and registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with a valid Unique Entity Identification Number. The solicitation was posted on August 2, 2025, with responses due by August 16, 2025, and delivery requested by September 5, 2025.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designation and is being conducted as a sole source acquisition under FAR Part 12 Commercial Items guidelines. The justification for sole source procurement is based on NMRC's current and historical use of Mensor pressure gauges in their chamber systems, with market research confirming that only Mensor produces a dual channel gauge meeting the specific technical requirements. The contract is for a single unit with firm fixed pricing, classified under NAICS code 334513 for measuring and controlling industrial process variables. Performance will take place in Silver Spring, Maryland, where the Naval Medical Research Command's Undersea Medicine Department is located. The procurement supports critical research operations requiring precise pressure measurement capabilities that are unique to Mensor's dual-channel gauge technology.
