Description

Sole Source to MESA LABORATORIES INC. for MESA LABS INSTRUMENTATION in support of unmanned diving operations inside the unmanned hyperbaric chambers at the Navy Experimental Diving Unit, As Requested. See All Attachments for Details.

Description This action will award a firm fixed price purchase order to Mesa Labs, Lakewood Manufacturing Facility, 12100 W 6th Ave, Lakewood, CO 80228 to provide instrumentation in support of unmanned diving operations inside the unmanned hyperbaric chambers at NEDU.

QTY: Various Quantities, As Requested in Attachments

Additional Details

The equipment is being acquired as new equipment to meet testing requirements of diving operations at NEDU.  As a critical piece of instrumentation used in the evaluation of diver’s life support equipment, the Mesa Labs instrumentation requested is the ONLY equipment that provides the necessary functions and is compatible with the current installed hardware and software control systems, for use with Mesa Labs flow calibration cell units already in use at NEDU.  In summary, using alternate equipment would prove costly in time and dollars to the government and to the mission.  Use of another system may change or introduce new parameters that may be harmful to all diving systems tested and maintained at NEDU.   Therefore, it is in the Governments’ best interest to award on a sole source basis to Mesa Labs.
