2. Program Details:

Requirement Need: Have vendor perform tolerance based calibration services and repairs with a Calibration Certificate for two Precision Infrared Calibrators and on Type S Thermocouple Standard.

Calibration must be traceable to the one of the following via an unbroken chain of measurements:

-The National Institute of Standards and Technology

-Natural Physical Constants (Intrinsic Standards)

-Consensus Standards

-National Standards of other countries which are correlated with U.S. National Standards

The calibration process used must result in a Test Accuracy Ratio or Test Uncertainty Ratio of 4:1 or greater, or a False Accept Risk of 2% or less, in accordance with the applicable paragraph(s) of ANSI/NCSL Z540.1 or later.

A calibration certificate must be provided which states the source of traceability and compliance with the above paragraph. It must also state whether or not the item was in-tolerance as received.

“As found” and “as left” measurement values are required on the certificate of calibration.

These instruments need preventative maintenance performed yearly and all services on broken parts fixed to ensure non-stop execution of daily work within Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Mid-Atlantic Regional Materials Test Laboratory.

Market Survey:

Please describe your company’s ability to provide preventative maintenance on the above items.

Please state your business size (small or large) based upon the size standard above.

If you would like to propose an alternate NAICS Code please state why another NAICS Code would better fit this requirement.
