Description

The Commander, Naval Air Systems Command, Commander Fleet Readiness Center (COMFRC) Patuxent River, Maryland on behalf of Fleet Readiness Center Southwest, Navy Primary Standards Laboratory, Code 4112, Bldg. 469 South, Dispatch B9, San Diego, CA 92135-7058; intends to award a purchase order to National Physical Laboratory � Hampton Road Teddington TW11 0LW United Kingdom using FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13 procedures. Fleet Readiness Center Southwest (FRCSW) Team is needing calibration for model 8495G and 1812A Step Attenuator as NIST is currently down for calibration. There is an urgent need for traceability in the standards used to satisfy lab accreditation. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has no capability to calibrate the subject attenuators to the Navy's required uncertainty specifications of 0.006 and 0.007 dB at 10 dB, as per ICPs 17-20GQ-74, 17-20GQ-79, 17-20GQ-106, 17-50GW-006, 17-50GW-007, 17-50GW-009, and 17-50GW-013. National Physical Laboratory (NPL), based in England, can calibrate both attenuators with a low enough uncertainty for Navy Primary Standards Laboratory (NPSL) to meet the Navy's workload requirements. NPSL is required to send cal. standards to a National Metrology Institute (NMI), of which NIST is the only one in the United States.
