The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives intends to negotiate a sole-source award with North Star Imaging Inc. of Rogers, Minnesota for preventive maintenance and software maintenance of the Fire Research Laboratory's computed tomography system, with a response deadline of July 20, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement under 41 U.S. Code 3304 and RFO 6.103-1; no competing responses are anticipated.
Place of performance is the ATF Forensic Science Laboratory in Ammendale, Maryland. Work comprises two scheduled preventive maintenance visits annually, including equipment inspection, cleaning, parts replacement, high voltage system adjustments, safety testing, radiation safety surveys, imaging system alignment verification, and software maintenance. All work must be performed by North Star Imaging–certified service technicians using factory-certified replacement parts.
