About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior US Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants has issued a Sole Source Justification Notice for an EBSD/EDS system upgrade valued at $175,000, to be awarded to Oxford Instruments America, Inc. The procurement involves upgrading an existing XMAX spectrometer detection system by replacing an aging EBSD camera, adding a Unity EDS, replacing control boxes, updating proprietary software, and providing installation and training. Market research conducted through SAM.gov and GSA eBuy from April 16-22, 2024, confirmed Oxford Instruments as the only vendor capable of providing the necessary proprietary components to integrate with the existing system and maintain data continuity. The upgrade will significantly improve analytical capabilities, reducing EBSD analysis times by 5X and chemical mapping acquisition times by 10X, which will decrease typical workload processing times from 15 days to 3-4 days. The sole source justification is based on the vendor's unique ability to provide specialized components that ensure system compatibility and performance enhancement.
