About this award
The Defense Health Agency has awarded a $158,963.96 firm fixed-price purchase order to Government Scientific Source Inc., a small business based in Reston, Virginia, for the procurement of four microscope optical binoculars. The contract, which was awarded and is due for completion on September 3, 2025, requires the contractor to deliver commercial-grade microscopes with LED lighting and tilting heads that will undergo first article testing in accordance with Military Standard 810-H(1). The microscopes will be evaluated for both operational and environmental performance and must meet minimum essential characteristics specified in the solicitation, including FDA regulatory compliance, multiple magnification levels (4x, 10x, 40x, 100x, and oil immersion), ergonomic adjustments, and hardened shipping cases weighing no more than 74 pounds. Government Scientific Source Inc., which has been registered in the System for Award Management since 2002 and holds multiple federal contract vehicles through the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule, is well-positioned to fulfill this requirement given its extensive experience supplying laboratory and scientific equipment to defense and civilian federal agencies.
This initial procurement of four units for first article testing is anticipated to be a precursor to a substantially larger future acquisition of approximately 505 microscopes over a five-year period from 2028 through 2033. The microscopes are intended for use in human and veterinary laboratory settings to support the health and safety of military personnel and working dogs by enabling examination of microorganisms, blood, bodily fluids, and pathogens at Fort Detrick, Maryland. The contract includes documentation requirements such as repair parts listings, user manuals, maintenance documentation, and a minimum one-year warranty, with the government seeking products that comply with Trade Agreements Act domestic sourcing requirements. No set-aside designation was used for this award.
