SOLE SOURCE: FLUKE Calibrations and Servicing of existing equipment for the National Weather Service (NWS), National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) at Stennis Space Center, MS.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to award a sole-source purchase order to Fluke Corporation for the calibration and servicing of existing equipment. This requirement supports the National Weather Service (NWS) and the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) located at the Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. The procurement falls under NAICS code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance and PSC J059 for Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuild of Equipment-Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components. There is no set-aside assigned to this action.

The government’s justification for the sole-source award, issued under the authority of FAR 6.103-1, is based on the fact that Fluke Corporation does not license any other vendor to perform calibrations or repairs on its proprietary equipment. Because the electronic hardware contains proprietary firmware, Fluke is the only entity capable of performing necessary firmware upgrades to the latest versions. The agency has determined that Fluke has no authorized partners or resellers capable of providing these specific services and updates.
