About this file
This Single Source Justification document details a contract for full service maintenance, repair, and support of a Nicolet i550 scientific instrument. The procurement is being conducted by AFMC OLH/PZIMB with a Purchase Request/Identification Number PR F2DCAN518A001. Thermo Fisher Scientific is the sole source vendor due to proprietary rights for the instrument's design, software, component parts, spare parts, technical support, and engineering resources.
The justification emphasizes that Thermo Fisher is the only company with access to proprietary information, is ISO certified, and has factory-trained service engineers. The government acknowledges that alternative vendors cannot replicate the solution without significant disruption to mission-critical operations. The contract is set to be awarded on 02-Dec-2025 by Staff Sergeant Lauren Reigenborn, with the government committing to future market research to potentially introduce competition and explore opportunities to remove barriers to alternative vendors.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards
The Government intends to evaluate any opportunities to remove barriers on future requirements.

The government will need to reengage with Thermo Fisher Instruments for future requirements, to determine if new vendors have been granted access to their proprietary rights.
