    The CSS 06-3232 document outlines the minimum requirements for a Pressure Gage Calibrator (PGC) procurement package for the Naval Surface Warfare Center. The PGC system is a portable pneumatic pressure calibration system intended for use by Navy personnel in shore-based laboratories and for on-site calibration of low-pressure transducers, gauges, and indicators. Key requirements include precise pressure control and measurement, contamination prevention for various fluids, and smart transducer technology. The document details specifications for accessories, equipment components, design, electrical power, physical characteristics, and transit case requirements. Environmental conditions, safety, calibration intervals, reliability, and maintainability are also addressed to ensure the PGC meets military operational and laboratory standards.
    This document outlines the minimum requirements for a Pressure Gage Calibrator (PGC) procurement package for the Naval Surface Warfare Center. The PGC system, intended for use by Navy personnel in shore-based and on-site calibration, must be a portable pneumatic pressure calibration system with user-friendly controls. Key requirements include capabilities for manual and automatic operation, automated leak testing, pressure head correction, and an automated self-purging liquid trap to prevent contamination. The PGC must operate with clean, dry nitrogen and filtered ambient air, and its internal components must withstand high pressures. It needs to utilize smart transducer technology, display various units of measure, and meet specific range and accuracy for absolute, gauge, and vacuum pressure modes. The document also details requirements for accessories, equipment components, restricted materials, design, electrical power, physical characteristics, transit cases, marking, environmental conditions, safety, warranty, calibration, reliability, and maintainability, aligning with MIL-PRF-28800G standards.
    The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Corona Division, seeks to procure Low Pressure Gage Calibrators via a five-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. This initiative aims to modernize obsolete calibrator models across Navy Calibration Laboratories, replacing them with in-lab bench-top units capable of absolute (1-100psia), gauge (-14-100psig), and vacuum (0-28 inHg) pressure modes. The contract will cover a minimum of one and a maximum of 150 units. Key requirements include providing operator/service manuals, a one-year warranty, NIST-traceable calibration certificates with actual data, calibration labels, repairable parts lists, software/firmware version descriptions, and recorded training manuals on electronic media. All deliverables must adhere to specified Contract Data Requirement Lists (CDRLs).
