Purchase Order N0017314P1809

The Office of Naval Research awarded a $8,591 firm fixed-price purchase order to Thermo Electron North America LLC for a detector on July 19, 2014, with a completion date of August 13, 2014. The contract, which was not issued under any set-aside program, is to be performed in Riviera Beach, Florida. Thermo Electron North America LLC, a West Palm Beach-based subsidiary of Thermo Electron Corporation, specializes in providing advanced scientific instrumentation and laboratory equipment maintenance services to federal agencies across both civilian and defense sectors, with particular expertise in analytical technologies including mass spectrometers and chromatography systems.

This award represents a short-duration procurement typical of the Office of Naval Research's support for naval science and technology initiatives. The contractor's extensive experience delivering sophisticated analytical equipment and maintenance services to the Department of Defense, National Institutes of Health, Environmental Protection Agency, and other federal agencies positions it as an established supplier of scientific instrumentation to the federal research and development infrastructure. The brief performance window and modest contract value suggest this purchase order fulfills a specific, time-sensitive equipment need supporting naval research operations.
