About this file
This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines service contract requirements for Thermo Electron to support the Astrobiology Analytical Laboratory at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, with a period of performance from April 13, 2025 to April 12, 2026. The laboratory uses a Thermo QExactive Orbitrap mass spectrometer with liquid chromatography inlet to analyze organic compounds in extraterrestrial materials and other samples.
The SOW requires two different support plans: a Limited Support Plan for UltiMate peripherals and an Essential Support Plan for the QExactive and Vanquish peripherals. The Limited plan includes one corrective maintenance visit (5-day response time), one preventative maintenance visit with standard PM kit, engineer labor/travel, software updates, and priority technical support. The Essential plan provides similar coverage but with unlimited corrective maintenance visits and a faster 3-day response time. All services will be performed at the Astrobiology Analytical Lab (Building 34, room C176) at Goddard Space Flight Center. This procurement is being handled as a sole-source contract to Thermo Electron North America LLC under NAICS code 811210.

Thermo Electron Service Contract
(POP 4/13/2025-4/12/2026)
PR: _____________________
Background The Astrobiology Analytical Laboratory in code 691 uses state-of-the-art commercial analytical instruments to investigate the distribution, origin, and formation processes of organic compounds in a variety of samples. These samples include extraterrestrial materials (e.g., carbonaceous meteorites or samples returned from NASA missions such as Stardust), terrestrial natural samples, and laboratory analogs.
One of the main suites of equipment used in the Astrobiology Analytical Laboratory is a high-resolution mass spectrometry system that consists of a Thermo QExactive Orbitrap mass spectrometer with liquid chromatography inlet. By using these instruments to identify the nature and sources of organic compounds which may have contributed to the origin of life, this research directly addresses two sub-goals of NASA's 2006 Strategic Plan: 3C.1, "Progress in learning how the Sun's family of planets and minor bodies originated and evolved" and 3C.2: "Progress in understanding the process that determines the history and future of habitability in the solar system, including the origin and evolution of Earth's biosphere and the character and extent of prebiotic chemistry on Mars and other worlds." These instruments provide a unique capability at Goddard to address a number of Space and Earth Science research topics. The Orbitrap allows unparalleled resolution that permits precise identification of compounds.
Because of the complexity of this instrumental system, service and support from qualified, trained engineers is required to minimize downtime, perform repairs, and maintain the instrument in peak operating condition.
Scope Support plans are required for the QExactive Orbitrap and associated peripherals (Vanquish and UltiMate liquid chromatographs).
We require procurement of a Limited Support Plan for the UltiMate peripherals, and an Essential Support Plan for the QExactive and Vanquish peripherals.
The Limited support plan will provide the following:
-Field Service Engineer labor, travel, and parts required for one (1) Corrective Maintenance visit with a targeted response time of 5 business days -One (1) scheduled preventative maintenance (PM) visit (standard PM kit included) -Engineer labor and travel included for the PM
-Software and firmware updates and notifications -Priority status for technical support inquiries
The Essential support plan will provide the following:
-Field Service Engineer labor, travel, and parts required for Corrective Maintenance visits with a targeted response time of 3 business days -One (1) scheduled preventative maintenance (PM) visit (standard PM kit included) -Engineer labor and travel included for the PM -Software and firmware updates and notifications -Priority status for technical support inquiries
Requirements
Support plans shall be provided as described in the Scope section above.
Deliverables or Delivery Schedule
Support plans shall be provided as described in the Scope section above, with dates of coverage from April 13, 2025 to April 12, 2026.
Place of Performance
Service provided through the support plans shall be carried out at Goddard Space Flight Center in the Astrobiology Analytical Lab (Building 34, room C176).
Period of Performance
Support plans shall be provided as described in the Scope section above, with dates of coverage from April 13, 2025 to April 12, 2026.
