Quick Summary
The 60th Contracting Squadron, Travis AFB, CA, intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Fluke Electronics Corporation (UEI: YA5LYT9J7TX5) for one (1) Fluke 5560A High-Performance Multi-Product Calibrator and one (1) 55XXA/Coil 50 turn current coil. This equipment is a direct replacement for an obsolete model and is critical for the 60th MXS Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory (PMEL) to support mission-critical calibration. While this is not a request for competitive proposals, responsible sources may submit capability statements by March 10, 2026, 4:30 PM PST.
Scope of Requirement
The requirement is for specific calibration equipment: a Fluke 5560A Multi-Product Calibrator and a 55XXA Coil 50. This equipment is essential for the Air Force's calibration mission, serving as a direct replacement for an outdated model (5520A) and ensuring the continued support of Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE) at Travis AFB, CA.
Contract Details
- Type: Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source, Firm-Fixed-Price
- Awardee (Intended): Fluke Electronics Corporation
- Set-Aside: Not Applicable (Sole Source)
- Product Service Code: 6625 (Electrical And Electronic Properties Measuring And Testing Instruments)
- Place of Performance: Travis AFB, CA
Justification for Sole Source
The sole-source justification is based on a mandatory standardization requirement by the Air Force Metrology and Calibration Program (AFMETCAL). This program has identified the Fluke 5560A with 55XXA Coil 50 as the only model that meets mandatory measurement parameters and interoperability standards for the Air Force's calibration mission. Market research confirmed no other certified direct replacement for the existing 5520A is available. Fair and reasonable pricing has been addressed through historical purchases and a current GSA contract, considering factors like R&D costs, niche market, compliance requirements, and long product lifecycle.
