About this opportunity
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded a sole-source contract to Thermo Electron North American LLC for acquisition of a Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Excedion Pro MS system (high-resolution accurate mass liquid chromatography/orbitrap mass spectrometer) under GSA Schedule contract 47QSWA21D0055 on August 6, 2026.
The justification cites 41 USC 1901 and FAR 12.102(b), with the exception under FAR 5.101(b)(2) based on the finding that only one responsible source exists. Market research including vendor research, past mass spectrometer purchases, and consultation with other federal agencies confirmed no other vendors meet the required specifications. The Orbitrap Excedion Pro MS provides high-resolution mass analysis up to 500,000 FWHM (with option for 1,000,000 FWHM), sub-1 ppm mass accuracy, a mass range of 40–6000 m/z, real-time mass calibration via EASY-IC ion source, an OptaMax Plus ion source with probe positioning, and a 6-stage turbomolecular pump vacuum system to support EPA's environmental analytical mission. The Contracting Officer, Keith Pfeffer, certified the effort on June 4, 2026; the anticipated price is determined fair and reasonable through commercial acquisition procedures and subject matter expertise evaluation. Place of performance is Fort Meade, Maryland. The procurement reference is PR-OCSPP-26-00252.
