The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Corona Division, requires the acquisition of gaging rings for Aft Closure and DTRM Gages. This procurement is necessary to manufacture two each of the Navy Gauge, DTRM, MK 104 Fixture and Aft Closure Gage. Specific requirements include two Aft Closure Gages (Drawing 6656388, Rev E, Item 49) and multiple Navy Gauge, DTRM, MK 104 Fixture components (Drawing 5517359, Rev S, Item 26 (4 QTY) and Item 51 (4 QTY)). The period of performance requires delivery 20 weeks after contract award to the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Norco, CA.
The document is a justification for a brand name/sole source procurement for FLIR Gimbal Pan-Tilt Unit (PTU) equipment and related accessories for the Navy, Air Force, and allied training ranges' Weapons Impact Scoring Set (WISS). The justification cites FAR regulations allowing for other than full and open competition due to the specific brand-name item, the unique and highly specialized nature of the supplies, and the need for compatibility with existing WISS systems. NSWC Corona requires FLIR equipment because it has been previously tested and verified to work in harsh environments and integrates properly with existing systems. Procuring a different brand would lead to substantial duplication of costs due to extensive testing, certification, software development, and documentation updates required to ensure compatibility and functionality with the WISS system. NSWC Corona currently has no plans to compete future contracts for these specific supplies due to these barriers.
This government solicitation, N6426726Q4004, issued by the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Corona Division, seeks proposals for FLIR Gimbals and associated optical hardware components.

The required items are specific FLIR brand-name products, including D300 E-series pan-tilt units, power supplies, breakout cable harnesses, and heavy-duty payload brackets. Offerors must be an OEM, authorized dealer, distributor, or reseller and provide proof of authorization. Deliveries are required within 45 calendar days of the contract award to NSWC Corona Division, Norco, CA. The contract type is Firm Fixed Price (FFP), and payment will be processed electronically via Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF). The document also outlines packaging, marking, inspection, acceptance, and various FAR and DFARS clauses governing the contract, including those related to small business programs, labor standards, and unique item identification.
