About this opportunity

The U.S. Geological Survey intends to solicit a sole-source five-year service and maintenance agreement for a Spectromat TI-Box Model (1909) thermal ionization mass spectrometer at the USGS National Center in Reston, Virginia, with responses to this pre-solicitation notice due by June 30, 2026. The Government has identified only one responsible source reasonably available to satisfy the requirement under FAR 12.102(a).

The contractor shall furnish all materials, labor, equipment, travel, supervision, and technical expertise for on-site preventative maintenance, 24/7 remote support, and OEM-certified technician services in accordance with the Statement of Work. The equipment supports the USGS Radiogenic Isotopes Laboratory's research aligned with multiple Federal Agencies, International institutions, and the Minerals Program. Market research, including a sources sought notice posted on SAM.gov in August 2021, yielded no alternative sources. Spectromat Massenspektrometer GMBH of Bremen, Germany, is identified as the sole manufacturer and authorized support provider for all Spectromat instrumentation; prior related procurement (140G0125P0089) was also conducted as sole source.

This is a commercial items/services procurement under FAR Subpart 12.2, classified under NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC J066 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment—Instruments and Laboratory Equipment). Any responsible source may submit a capability statement by the closing date; the Government will consider all responses received and reserves discretion on whether to open the requirement to competition.
