This Special Notice, posted on January 22, 2026, announces that NRL intends to procure these specialized services from a single source, as the agency has determined that only BRUKER AXS can satisfy its specific requirements. The procurement falls under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC code J066 (Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Laboratory Equipment), with a simplified acquisition threshold not exceeding $350,000.

Interested parties have fifteen calendar days from the publication date (until January 26, 2026) to submit responses demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the Government.

No reimbursement will be provided for costs associated with submitting capability information in response to this notice.
