What the notice says
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 Com… (show all)
plete 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. Furthermore, only certified ZEISS technicians receive ongoing factory training, regular technical updates, and direct access to original manufacturer�s parts required to maintain the equipment in optimal condition and ensure it meets factory specifications. Therefore, only the brand-name ZEISS service can meet the Government's requirements without risking mission-critical equipment and incurring significant repair costs. 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). THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which, if received within two (2) calendar days after the date of the publication of this synopsis, will be considered. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses received as a result of this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Point of contact for this requirement is Kara Marie Ridgell at kara.m.ridgell.civ@us.navy.mil.

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
- $ITW reported $16.5B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 5 past awards, $221K, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
- $KEYS reported $6.6B revenue (12 months to Jul 31, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 5 past awards, $221K, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.

Materiality: one award's value as a share of the winner's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings (or its last fiscal year, as noted when you point at it). Low under 1%, Medium 1 to 5%, High 5% or more. Many awards are paid over several years, so this overstates a single year's share.
