About this award
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $20,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to Hitachi High-Tech America, Inc. for annual preventive maintenance services on specialized scientific equipment at the Geology, Energy and Minerals Science Center in Reston, Virginia. The contract, which commenced September 15, 2025 and extends through September 14, 2026, covers maintenance of a Hitachi SU-5000 field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and AMICS software. This was a sole-source procurement awarded without competition under FAR 13.106-1(b) authority, as Hitachi possesses exclusive access to proprietary software, instrument diagrams, specialized parts, and test equipment necessary for proper diagnosis and repair of the equipment. The USGS justified the sole-source approach by noting that only Hitachi-trained service engineers possess the requisite expertise and access to proprietary tools essential for maintaining this advanced scientific instrumentation critical to the agency's geological research operations.
Hitachi High-Tech America, Inc., a Texas-headquartered subsidiary of Japanese multinational conglomerate Hitachi, Ltd., serves as the incumbent contractor and sole qualified provider due to its proprietary relationship with the equipment and exclusive training capabilities. The company has established itself as a key federal supplier of sophisticated scientific instrumentation and maintenance services across multiple agencies including NASA, the Department of Defense, and the National Institutes of Health. No set-aside designation was applied to this procurement, which falls under NAICS code 811210 and PSC category J066 for maintenance and repair of instruments and laboratory equipment.
