The Commander Fleet Readiness Centers (COMFRC) Procurement Group, Patuxent River, MD 20670 hereby gives notice of their intent to award a purchase order to Carl Zeiss Industrial Quality Solutions, LLC. 6250 Sycamore Lane North, Maple Grove, MN 55369 (Cage Code: 9DRR4) on a sole source basis in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 13.106-1(b)(i), only one source reasonably available and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

The Fleet Readiness Center East (FRCE) has a requirement to secure an annual maintenance agreement (Carl Zeiss Care Complete Package or equivalent) to provide certified annual calibration, a Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA), and emergency parts repair services. The Fleet Readiness Center requires continued software maintenance and hardware calibration for the ZEISS Prismo Ultra CMM and its associated CALYPSO software. This system is an integral part of the organization's quality assurance environment, providing essential capabilities for precise 3D coordinate measuring. The calibration and maintenance services require proprietary ZEISS software tools to access diagnostic data and make necessary software corrections to the machine's controller.

For this reason, the government intends to procure these products on a sole source basis from Carl Zeiss Industrial Quality Solutions, LLC. (CAGE Code: 9DRR4).
