JEOL SEM_SSJ_Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (SSJ) for a renewal contract for Preventative Maintenance (PM) services on a JEOL JSM-IT300LV Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).

The 76th Maintenance Squadron (MXSG) at Tinker Air Force Base requires a base plus four option-year service contract with two preventative maintenance visits per year on the identified equipment. The SEM is used as a quality assurance tool to determine manufacturing quality of First Article Qualification parts and to identify small features during failure analysis and mishap prevention investigations. The contract is valued at approximately $555,000.00 and requires Level 3 drawings and proprietary data access to accomplish required service and calibration tasks. JEOL USA, Inc., located at 11 Dearborn RD, Peabody, Massachusetts 01960-3823, is identified as the sole source vendor. The company is classified as a Large business entity with CAGE Code 51043. Market research confirmed JEOL USA, Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and current service provider under existing contract FA8126-21-P-0055, scheduled to expire August 5, 2026. The justification emphasizes that no other vendors can satisfy the requirement due to proprietary data rights, access to Level 3 drawings, and the necessity for certified OEM technicians and authentic parts to maintain the specialized equipment. The Government commits to monitoring the marketplace periodically to determine if the company will utilize third parties for future service opportunities or reconsider selling proprietary data rights. The justification was signed on June 25, 2026, and approved under RFO 12.102(a).
