This $23,050 firm-fixed-price federal contract was awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to Physical Electronics USA, Inc., a foreign-owned for-profit organization, for upgrades to an XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectrometer) instrument. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. Physical Electronics USA is a leading supplier of surface analysis instrumentation to federal agencies, and has secured over $3 million in prior federal contracts. This award will support the delivery, installation, maintenance, and repair of the agency's PHI 5000 VersaProbe XPS system, contributing to materials characterization research initiatives across the government. Physical Electronics has also provided related equipment like TOF-SIMS (time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometers) to various federal agencies in the past, often on a sole-source basis due to their specialized capabilities.
