About this file

This document is a Sole Source Justification for Simplified Acquisitions related to a federal contract opportunity with the Department of Energy's Radiological and Environmental Sciences Laboratory (RESL).

RESL intends to award a sole source purchase order to Thermo Electron North America LLC for the maintenance and service of two Thermo Electron iCAP RQ Quadrupole ICP-MS Spectrometer instruments and associated Qtegra ISDS software. Thermo Electron is the only known source that can provide the required comprehensive maintenance agreement, as their instruments and software have unique specifications that only the original equipment manufacturer can service and support. The microanalysis tools must be properly maintained to ensure high quality research results. RESL conducted market research and determined no known alternate sources exist to fulfill this requirement. Any interested parties must provide evidence of their capability to RESL by 1:00 PM MST on September 27, 2024. A competitive procurement will be at the discretion of the government based on responses received. The contract was awarded to an unknown vendor for an unknown amount on September 27, 2024.
