Intent to Sole Source to Value Tool & Engineering Inc.

The Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Cherry Point Satellite Contracting Office, under the Commanding General (COPE), intends to award a sole-source purchase order to Value Tool & Engineering Inc. for calibration services of Honeywell Curvic Gauges. This procurement is categorized under NAICS 541380 Testing Laboratories and Services and PSC J052 MAINT/REPAIR/REBUILD OF EQUIPMENT- MEASURING TOOLS. The government’s rationale for the sole-source award, conducted in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(i), is that Value Tool & Engineering is the original equipment manufacturer and the only source reasonably available to satisfy the agency's requirements.

Performance for these services will take place in South Bend, Indiana.
