About this opportunity
The Commander Fleet Readiness Centers Procurement Group at Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Maryland, is announcing its intent to award a sole-source purchase order to Carl Zeiss Industrial Quality Solutions, LLC for annual maintenance and software support of precision metrology equipment, with a two-calendar-day window for capability statements closing July 26, 2026. The procurement is restricted to Carl Zeiss as sole source under FAR 13.106-1(b)(i) on the basis that only one source reasonably available can satisfy agency requirements. Fleet Readiness Center East requires a Carl Zeiss Care Complete Package or equivalent to provide certified annual calibration, software maintenance agreement, and emergency parts repair for the ZEISS Prismo Ultra CMM coordinate measuring machine and associated CALYPSO software. The justification cites proprietary diagnostic tools accessible only through ZEISS software, factory training and technical updates available exclusively to certified ZEISS technicians, and access to original manufacturer parts necessary to maintain equipment specifications and avoid mission-critical failures and excessive repair costs. This notice is not a competitive solicitation; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement within two calendar days to be considered for the sole-source award.
Notice text
The Commander Fleet Readiness Centers (COMFRC) Procurement Group, Patuxent River, MD 20670 hereby gives notice of their intent to award a purchase order to Carl Zeiss Industrial Quality Solutions, LLC. 6250 Sycamore Lane North, Maple Grove, MN 55369 (Cage Code: 9DRR4) on a sole source basis in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 13.106-1(b)(i), only one source reasonably available and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
The Fleet Readiness Center East (FRCE) has a requirement to secure an annual maintenance agreement (Carl Zeiss Care Complete Package or equivalent) to provide certified annual calibration, a Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA), and emergency parts repair services. The Fleet Readiness Center requires continued software maintenance and hardware calibration for the ZEISS Prismo Ultra CMM and its associated CALYPSO software. This system is an integral part of the organization's quality assurance environment, providing essential capabilities for precise 3D coordinate measuring. The calibration and maintenance services require proprietary ZEISS software tools to access diagnostic data and make necessary software corrections to the machine's controller. Furthermore, only certified ZEISS technicians receive ongoing factory training, regular technical updates, and direct access to original manufacturer’s parts required to maintain the equipment in optimal condition and ensure it meets factory specifications. Therefore, only the brand-name ZEISS service can meet the Government's requirements without risking mission-critical equipment and incurring significant repair costs. For this reason, the government intends to procure these products on a sole source basis from Carl Zeiss Industrial Quality Solutions, LLC. (CAGE Code: 9DRR4).
THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which, if received within two (2) calendar days after the date of the publication of this synopsis, will be considered. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses received as a result of this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
