Quick Summary

The Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Contract on a sole-source basis to PAMAS for the preventative maintenance and calibration of a PAMAS Particle Count Analyzer (Model SBSS, Serial 320-2283). This notice is a pre-solicitation for commercial items/services, and while NNSY intends to sole source, other responsible sources believing they can fulfill the requirements are invited to identify their interest and capabilities. The response date is June 22, 2026.

Scope of Work

The requirement is for a PAMAS certified technician to perform comprehensive services for the Particle Count Analyzer, including:

Preventive maintenance and calibration.
Performance verification and support.
Annual recertification of calibration.

Specific tasks involve providing an itemized work order, analyzing an ASTM proficiency or QC sample, and performing repairs at no additional charge if the instrument is inoperative or fails ASTM specifications. Any repairs requiring additional parts, labor, or travel outside the scope will require a detailed quotation and prior authorization from the Contracting Officer.
