Intent to Sole Source - Laser Tracker System Calibration

The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard intends to sole source the calibration and certified maintenance services for nine Automated Precision Inc. (API) Laser Tracker Systems. The systems include four R80 Radian Plus units, two R80 Radian units, and three R50 Radian units, as well as Unplanned Parts & Repair (UPP&R) support. The sole source justification is based on the fact that API is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and owns the proprietary data, software, diagnostic tools, and approved processes required to perform this certified work. Key points to consider: * The requirement is for calibration and certified maintenance services for API Laser Tracker Systems. * The systems are used for precision measurements in ship maintenance and repair. * API is the only company that can perform the certified work due to its proprietary processes and software. * The contract will be created for maintenance, repair, and calibration services for all nine API Laser Tracker Systems. * The systems have specific serial numbers and must be calibrated to meet NAVSEA METCAL requirements.
