Purchase Order N0017314P1768

The Office of Naval Research awarded a $7,295 firm fixed-price purchase order to Rigaku Americas Holding, Inc. for a rebuilt pump on July 15, 2014, with completion scheduled for July 22, 2014. The contract, which was not issued under any small business set-aside designation, was performed in The Woodlands, Texas. Rigaku Americas, a foreign-owned analytical instrumentation company specializing in X-ray-based materials analysis technologies, was selected to deliver this equipment component to support naval research operations.

This purchase order represents a discrete, short-duration procurement typical of ONR's ongoing needs to maintain and upgrade laboratory and research infrastructure. While Rigaku Americas is primarily known for supplying advanced X-ray diffraction systems, fluorescence spectrometers, and associated analytical equipment to federal agencies across the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and civilian research institutions, this contract involved the supply of a rebuilt pump component. The expedited seven-day completion window indicates this was likely a replacement or maintenance item required to support active research operations at a naval or research facility.
