About this file
This document is a Single Source Determination form for the Department of Commerce, NOAA – National Marine Fisheries Service, Alaska Fisheries Science Center. The agency requires three Leica brand M80 Stereomicroscopes (one standard stereomicroscope and two aging microscopes) and peripheral components for examining marine organism aging structures, including a Leica K3C camera and LED light sources for specimen illumination.
Market research was conducted through a 12-day sources-sought notice on SAM.gov, which received one response from Nikon USA (deemed unsuitable). Leica Microsystems was confirmed as the sole-source provider, holding a GSA contract for these specific M80 systems. The contracting officer, Jason Jenks, determined that Leica is the only source reasonably available due to compatibility requirements with existing agency equipment and the need for genuine replacement parts and components.

5. Market Research.
Extensive market research was done for this requirement – A sources-sought notice was posted to SAM.gov for twelve (12) days (11-Jul-2025 to 23-Jul-2025). One response was received from Nikon USA. The requesting official reviewed Nikon USA’s documentation and determined that Nikon’s products would not be applicable to this requirement. Other market research was conducted to determine availability in the United States – Leica Microsystems (the U.S. arm of Leica) holds a GSA contract with the M80 systems being listed on their contract. Leica Microsystems confirmed they are the sole-source for replacement components for the M80 systems as well as new M80 systems.
