About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity (DHACA) at Fort Detrick, Maryland has published a Special Notice regarding the assembly and operational assessment of a used Government-owned Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (LC-MS) system. The notice, posted on April 29, 2026, is a Notice of Intent for a sole source contract award being issued on behalf of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) and the Armed Forces Research Institute Medical Sciences (AFRIMS). The requirement involves assembling and assessing a Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Exploris 240 Basic System, which comprises a liquid chromatography pump and mass spectrometer. Thermo Fisher Scientific has been identified as the sole source Original Equipment Manufacturer for this equipment. The contracting activity is seeking to bring the used system to full operational capability through installation, diagnostic testing, calibration, and necessary repairs.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to restore the Government-owned LC-MS equipment to operational status while procuring a new controlling computer with operating software to support the system. Contractors interested in challenging the sole source designation have 15 days from publication—until May 13, 2026—to submit written responses with clear and convincing evidence demonstrating comparable service capability and greater Government advantage. All sources eligible to provide these services may respond; however, only those capable of delivering the specified assembly, diagnostic testing, calibration, and repair services are encouraged to participate. The contract period of performance is scheduled from June 30, 2026 through July 29, 2026. Interested parties should direct their responses to john.l.fitzsimmons8.civ@health.mil, and if no competitive responses are received by the deadline, the sole source contract award to Thermo Fisher Scientific will be issued.
