Anton Paar Maintenance Service and Calibration

The Bureau of the Fiscal Service, operating on behalf of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax & Trade Bureau (TTB), has issued Special Notice SS-TTB-26-016 seeking sources for preventative maintenance and repair services on Anton Paar laboratory equipment. This Sources Sought announcement was posted on January 22, 2026, and represents the government's intention to procure specialized maintenance and calibration services for density meters and related instruments used in TTB's Beltsville, Maryland laboratory. The notice indicates the government's preference to award on a sole source basis to Anton Paar USA, Inc., the authorized distributor and service provider for Anton Paar brand instruments in the United States and Caribbean region. However, the government is first soliciting capability statements from other potential contractors to determine if any entity possesses superior capability to fulfill all technical requirements.

Interested contractors must submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations by January 28, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET to purchasing@fiscal.treasury.gov with subject line SS-TTB-26-016/Attn: RJ/HJ. Submissions must include company name and location, contact information, business size designation, UEI number, specific product details, availability through existing government contract vehicles or open market sourcing, and a capabilities statement not exceeding five pages. The requirement covers ISO 17025 calibration, preventative maintenance, and both in-house and on-site repair services for five pieces of equipment over a 12-month base period, classified under PSC J066 and NAICS 811210. There are no small business set-aside requirements or subcontracting mandates associated with this procurement. If no qualifying response demonstrates superior capability to meet all requirements by the deadline, the government will proceed with a sole source award to Anton Paar USA, Inc., based on the proprietary nature of the equipment and the company's exclusive certification to perform authorized services.
