The Office of Naval Research (ONR) awarded a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Veeco Process Equipment Inc., doing business as Veeco, for an Arsenic Valved Cracker System. The $73,711.77 contract is part of ONR's research and development programs, particularly in the fields of atomic layer deposition, molecular beam epitaxy, and plasma-enhanced systems. Veeco, a leading manufacturer of specialized laboratory equipment and materials for the federal government, will provide the Arsenic Valved Cracker System, along with associated services such as on-site training and equipment repairs. This sole-source procurement was made using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 13, as ONR determined that only Veeco could meet the agency's requirements. The contract does not have a set-aside designation.
