About this opportunity
The Bureau of Reclamation intends to award a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement to YSI, Inc. (Xylem Analytics) on a sole-source basis for YSI EXO and ProDSS water quality sondes, original equipment manufacturer replacement parts, repair and maintenance services, and related accessories, with contract number 140R2026A0002 awarded July 15, 2026.
YSI, Inc. is the original equipment manufacturer and only authorized source for the specified instrumentation, OEM replacement parts, and factory-authorized repair and maintenance services required to maintain compatibility with the Bureau of Reclamation's existing monitoring systems. Market research, including a Sources Sought Notice posted May 28, 2026, and searches of commercial vendors, SBA Dynamic Small Business Search, GSA sources, AbilityOne, and UNICOR identified no alternative capable sources. The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 1901 (only one responsible source using Simplified Acquisition Procedures). The Government's existing investment in YSI systems, personnel training, and established standard operating procedures make transitioning to alternative manufacturers impractical due to incompatibility risks, data integrity concerns, and substantial additional costs. The BPA period runs September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2031 and serves as a follow-on to the expiring BPA 140R2021A0030. Place of performance supports water quality monitoring activities across the California Great Basin Region's multiple field and area offices. Fair and reasonable pricing will be determined through comparison to historical pricing under the previous BPA, the Independent Government Cost Estimate, and current commercial market rates.
