About this opportunity

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has awarded Modification P00003 to Purchase Order 70B06C25P00000120 to ORIT AIN USA INC. for continued Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) analysis of finished cotton goods to determine geographic origin on a sole-source basis.

The modification extends the firm fixed-price contract under 41 U.S.C. 1901 and RFO 12.102(b) simplified procedures to support CBP's compliance with the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act of 2021 and enforcement of the Withhold Release Order on cotton products from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Market research identified three small businesses capable of performing these services; however, a NAICS code protest (Docket No. NAICS-2026-09-09-322) resulted in a solicitation stay pending SBA/OHA resolution expected by September 28, 2026. The modification allows continued mission-critical services while the protest is resolved, preventing service lapse and regulatory non-compliance. The base period is 12 months; Option Period 1 is 6 months; and Option Period 2 (new) is 8 months. The requirement encompasses specialized IRMS testing methods, IRMS analytical training, access to validated statistical models, and access to a global reference database of cotton provenance. Funding is from Operations and Support funds for Fiscal Year 2026. NAICS 541990; PSC H283.
