SOLE SOURCE: FLUKE Calibrations and Servicing of existing equipment for the National Weather Service (NWS), National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) at Stennis Space Center, MS.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to award a sole source purchase order to Fluke Corporation for the calibration and servicing of existing equipment. This requirement supports the National Weather Service (NWS) and the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) located at the Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. As the original equipment manufacturer, Fluke Corporation is the only entity capable of performing these services because it does not license third-party vendors for repairs or calibrations, and its electronic equipment utilizes proprietary firmware that only Fluke can upgrade.

This procurement is classified under NAICS 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance and PSC J059 for Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuild of Equipment-Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components. The anticipated award follows the authority of FAR 6.103-1, as Fluke Corporation has no authorized partners or resellers capable of providing the necessary updates and services.
