This is a firm fixed-price purchase order awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey to Thermo Electron North America LLC, a for-profit limited liability company, for the provision of maintenance services on an ELEMENT2 mass spectrometer located at the Geology, Energy & Minerals Science Center in Reston, Virginia. The contract has a period of performance from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, and a ceiling value of $49,676.18.
The award was made on a sole-source basis, as Thermo Electron maintains exclusive control over the proprietary materials, replacement parts, software, and service capabilities for this specialized scientific instrument. No set-aside designation was used. This procurement is not associated with a larger contract vehicle, but Thermo Electron North America LLC has previously received other federal contracts and indefinite delivery contracts from agencies such as the USDA, U.S. Army, and various civilian research organizations for the maintenance and repair of their analytical equipment, including mass spectrometers, chromatography systems, and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometers.
