The Department of Defense, specifically the Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division, intends to award a sole-source contract for the procurement of a Keyence Handheld Probe Coordinate Measuring Machine XM-5000. This advanced measuring machine is required to enhance the in-house measurement capabilities for the NAVAIR Guns Medium Caliber Lab, which evaluates 20mm and 25mm aircraft gun systems, addressing the inadequacies of traditional measurement tools that often lead to costly outsourcing. The urgency of this procurement is underscored by a desired delivery date of July 1, 2024, to ensure compliance with technical data packages for gun components, with interested vendors required to submit their capabilities by September 24, 2024, to Jimmy Ludwick at james.e.ludwick2.civ@us.navy.mil.
