About this opportunity
The Naval Sea Systems Command, specifically the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane, is soliciting maintenance services for an FEI Helios G4 UX Scanning Electron Microscope with associated components (part numbers 1078716/9925364/F7021257, 1100916/9925364.4, and 1112175/9925364.3). This sole-source procurement is being pursued under FAR 13.106-1 simplified acquisition procedures because FEI Company is the original equipment manufacturer with exclusive possession of proprietary technical documentation, software updates, and repair capabilities necessary for proper equipment maintenance. The Government intends to negotiate directly with FEI Company; however, all responsible sources may submit capability statements for consideration at the Government's discretion. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the notice, the justification for sole-sourcing emphasizes FEI Company's unique qualifications, including trained technical personnel, proprietary data and schematics, and stockpiled repair parts critical to equipment operability. The solicitation was issued on March 17, 2026, with a closing date of March 26, 2026, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time, allowing vendors nine days to submit quotes or capability statements.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation, despite initial references in some documents to Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) consideration. FEI Company of Hillsboro, Oregon (CAGE code 1FJ95) is the anticipated sole-source contractor. The contract value has been redacted from available documentation. The performance period runs for twelve months, from April 7, 2026, through April 6, 2027, on a firm fixed-price basis. All work will be performed at the service site in Crane, Indiana at NSWC Crane's facility located at 300 Highway 361, Crane, Indiana 47522-5001. Interested vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to submission, with inquiries directed to the contracting officer Morgan Helton or contract specialist Christina Staggs at the Crane facility.
