    The document outlines a Statement of Work for procurement related to the purchase of a SmartScope Flash 670, which is a high-capacity 3D multisensor measurement system intended for versatile measuring tasks. It is designed to accommodate parts of various sizes and features a robust granite base for stability. The system also includes advanced optics, multiple illumination options, and compatibility with various sensor types, making it suitable for comprehensive dimensional measurements. Additionally, the accompanying metrology software, ZONE3 Pro, improves measurement efficiency and user connectivity through an online community. Key equipment accessories include various touch probe options, laser packages, and calibration tools to enhance functionality. Installation, calibration, and training services at NASA's Kennedy Space Center are also part of the proposal, with an estimated delivery timeframe of 22 to 24 weeks. This procurement aims to support precise measurement capabilities crucial for research and development activities at the space center.
    SATPC0038192 Tab 06 BNJ Updated_Redacted.pdf
    The NASA Shared Services Center is recommending a sole-source acquisition for specific equipment and services from Optical Gaging Products (OGP), specifically for the SmartScope Flash 670 system, at an estimated cost of $177,520 with a delivery lead time of 22-24 weeks. The justification for this sole-source request stems from Florida Metrology's established relationship and proficiency in calibrating equipment for NASA over the past decade, ensuring compatibility and timely service. The document emphasizes that using alternative vendors could jeopardize equipment compatibility, necessitate significant retraining costs exceeding $35,000, and potentially disrupt critical space program schedules. Additionally, engaging different vendors could lead to delays in essential testing and mission objectives, posing substantial risks to NASA's operational effectiveness. Due to these dependencies and established service agreements, the recommendation is positioned as both an economic and operational necessity, underscoring the impracticality of competitive bidding in this instance. The contracting officer has approved the recommendation, confirming the justification for this procurement approach.
