This government document is a solicitation for commercial items under solicitation number SPMYM225Q0653, issued by DLA Maritime Puget Sound, due on December 27, 2024. The focus is on acquiring specific metrology supplies and equipment, including B-Probes, reflectors, and power supplies, primarily from the manufacturer Hexagon, marked as sole source. The delivery is set for January 13, 2024, to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, and the document outlines critical compliance and procedural guidelines regarding inspections and the electronic invoicing process through Wide Area Workflow (WAWF). Additionally, the solicitation incorporates various federal regulations and clauses, ensuring adherence to security protocols, especially concerning contractor access to Navy facilities, demanding the new Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) credential for base accesses. It further highlights the importance of maintaining confidentiality and security in telecommunications and prohibits certain covered applications due to security concerns. The document emphasizes the necessity for offerors to provide firm commitments and detailed representations regarding eligibility as small businesses or other designated categories. A successful bid will be evaluated based on technical compliance and pricing, with past performance being a significant factor in the award process.

This document serves as a justification for a sole-source procurement request for a handheld probing system, the Leica B-Probe Plus, manufactured by Hexagon. The estimated cost for this item, with a specified delivery date of February 28, 2025, is intended to enhance the capabilities of an existing Leica AT500 Absolute Laser Tracker System already acquired by DLA Maritime Puget Sound. The primary reason for sole-source designation is that Hexagon is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and the only provider of direct replacement parts, which are essential for the system's functionality and warranty maintenance. Multiple factors support this sole-source request, including compatibility requirements, proprietary manufacturing processes, and the absence of available substitutes. This approach ensures seamless integration with the existing equipment and guarantees operational reliability without compromising warranties. The document underscores the necessity of limiting competition to secure the required, specialized equipment from the original manufacturer, in compliance with federal acquisition regulations.
