(Cage 21938). Mahr is the manufacturer of the original systems, and this procurement is for the upgrade of AFMETCAL's 20 original systems.

For this requirement, there is no other action that can be accomplished to generate competition without a substantial duplication of costs. This procurement will provide the best value to the Government at this time. A sole source effort is required for the base quantities and option years to prevent significant downtime and increased calibration costs due to the proprietary data involved with the upgrade. Therefore, based on market research conducted Mahr Inc. is the only supplier that can offer this upgrade. The Government envisions a Firm Fixed Price type contract with a basic year and 2 option years through 30 September 2023. The anticipated quantity is 12 units on the base contract and an option for up to 8 option units. There is no guarantee that an option year will be exercised. The requirement is for Short Gage Block Comparator Upgrade in accordance with the Purchase Description and Data Requirements, which are available for download at this site.
