Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, specifically Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS&IMF), has awarded a sole-source contract to LECO Corporation for preventative maintenance and calibration services for the LECO RC612 Moisture Analyzer. This contract, valued at an estimated $80,65.00, covers services critical for analyzing weld flux moisture content at the Trident Refit Facility (TRF) Bangor. The award was justified due to LECO Corporation's proprietary rights as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
Scope of Work
The contract requires one scheduled annual preventative maintenance and calibration visit for the LECO RC612 Moisture Analyzer (serial #: 3225). Services include pre-scheduled on-site support, routine parts, labor, and travel. Specific tasks involve checking electrical connections, setting proper voltages, inspecting plumbing, cleaning the flow path, changing reagents, and calibrating the equipment using LECO or NIST standards. The contractor must return the analyzer to OEM specifications, with performance monitored by 100% inspection by laboratory personnel.
