About this opportunity

The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source purchase order to PerkinElmer for a one-year Gold Service Plan with one preventative maintenance visit. The procurement will be conducted under NAICS code 811210, with a size standard of $34 million, and will cover maintenance for four PerkinElmer Avio 500 ICP-OES and one Nexion Model 2000 C ICP-MS instruments at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard's Mid-Atlantic Regional Materials Test Laboratory. This sole source procurement is being pursued due to urgent and compelling circumstances related to declining laboratory ventilation conditions that are causing instrument corrosion and potentially impacting lead paint analysis capabilities. The notice emphasizes that this is not a competitive solicitation, and the government retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with the sole source award. The opportunity was posted on November 26, 2024, with responses due by December 3, 2024.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to secure a comprehensive service plan for critical laboratory equipment that requires specialized maintenance and support from the original equipment manufacturer. Contractors should note that this is an unrestricted solicitation specifically targeting PerkinElmer as the sole source provider, justified by their exclusive access to parts, technical knowledge, and ability to provide 3-day onsite response times. The service plan will cover unlimited repair services, including non-consumable parts, labor, travel, software support, and remote technical assistance during regular business hours. Eligibility is effectively limited to PerkinElmer, as they are deemed the only viable source capable of meeting the laboratory's specific technical requirements. Interested parties can direct any questions to specific Navy representatives, including Audrey Franklin, Shelia Anderson, and Denise Swain, via email. The period of performance for the service agreement will be 364 days from the date of award, with the work to be performed at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, VA.
