About this opportunity
The Transportation Security Administration intends to award a sole-source maintenance contract to Agilent Technologies Inc. for a CrossLab Silver preventive maintenance plan on an Agilent Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometer Triple Quad System, with an estimated value of $21,485.52 for a 12-month base year.
The justification rests on Agilent's status as the original equipment manufacturer with exclusive rights to proprietary software, diagnostic tools, and parts, and the mission-critical nature of the equipment supporting the TSA National Explosives Detection Canine Team Program. Market research conducted March through June 2026 identified Agilent as the only qualified vendor. Prior attempts to use non-Agilent service representatives resulted in performance issues, delayed maintenance, incorrect parts, and operational delays. The instrument's age and proprietary design require Agilent-certified engineers to perform the annual maintenance service. The maintenance plan includes contract-level preferred response, virtual tech support, same-day remote repair capabilities, onsite repair services with genuine Agilent parts, annual preventive maintenance, and software compliance and operational qualification services. Period of performance runs from September 10, 2026, through September 9, 2027. Contractor location is Wilmington, Delaware. The contract was awarded on September 10, 2026, under Simplified Acquisition Procedures as a Firm Fixed-Price commercial item procurement (contracting tracking number JA-2026-01-1393).
