The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) awarded a $24,250 firm-fixed-price purchase order to Bayspec, Inc., a small business manufacturer, to upgrade and provide maintenance for a BaySpec Portability Mass Spectrometer. The order requires upgrading the single mass spectrometry (MS) capability to tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), along with cleaning, part replacement, and preventative maintenance. This award is the result of a sources sought notification, not a competitive solicitation, and has no set-aside designation. Bayspec, which does business as Bay Spec Inc., is a vertically integrated spectral sensing company that has received prior federal contracts and grants, including Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awards from the Department of the Army and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for mass spectrometry and hyperspectral imaging technologies. The company has also provided products and services to other government agencies, demonstrating its expertise in the field of chemical detection and analysis.
