Contract Opportunity Analysis

The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Air Force, intends to award a sole-source contract to Fluke Electronics Corporation for the procurement of a Fluke 5560A High-Performance Multi-Product Calibrator and a 55XXA/Coil 50 turn current coil. This equipment is essential for the 60th MXS Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory (PMEL) at Travis AFB, California, as it serves as a direct replacement for an obsolete model and is critical for the calibration of various Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE). The decision to pursue a sole-source contract is based on the Fluke 5560A being the only product that meets the Air Force's stringent measurement and interoperability standards, as confirmed by market research. Interested parties may submit capability statements to the primary contact, SrA Matthew Kirk, at matthew.kirk.7@us.af.mil, or to SSgt Alexander Love Gaunt at alexander.love_gaunt@us.af.mil, by 4:30 PM PST on March 10, 2026.

AI Summary
The Department of the Air Force's 60th Contracting Squadron intends to award a single-source contract to Fluke Electronics for a Fluke 5560A Multi-Product Calibrator with 55XXA Coil 50, citing standardization requirements by the Air Force Metrology and Calibration Program (AFMETCAL). This justification is based on the Fluke 5560A being the only asset that meets specific, mandatory measurement parameters and interoperability standards for the Air Force's calibration mission. Market research confirmed no other manufacturer produces a certified direct replacement. The purchase is deemed fair and reasonable based on historical contracts and current GSA pricing, with an acknowledged price increase justified by high R&D costs, niche market, stringent compliance, and long product lifecycle support. Future efforts to preclude single-source awards will involve monitoring AFMETCAL directives and market research for new technologies. The contracting officer determined that only a single source could satisfy the agency's needs.
