INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE: PM Services for two (2) Spectro Analytical Instruments

The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is seeking preventive maintenance (PM) services for two (2) Spectro Analytical Instruments through a sole-source procurement. The requirement encompasses maintenance and calibration services for SPECTROMAXX and SPECTROLAB S Analyzers at the Shipyard. This procurement is being justified under the "Only One Responsible Source" criterion, as SPECTRO Analytical Instruments, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), possesses exclusive proprietary data and knowledge necessary to perform effective maintenance on the analyzers and is the sole approved supplier authorized to service this equipment. The evaluation will be based on the technical justification documented in the Limited Source Justification (LSJ) that supports restricting competition to this single source due to intellectual property restrictions and lack of internal organizational capacity to perform the specialized maintenance. The solicitation was posted on March 11, 2026, with a response deadline of March 18, 2026.

This procurement carries no set-aside designations and SPECTRO Analytical Instruments is identified as the sole incumbent contractor and only responsible source for these services. The Shipyard lacks internal resources to perform the specialized annual maintenance required on these analytical instruments, necessitating external contractor support. The place of performance is Kittery, ME 03904, where the Naval facility is located. While specific contract values and exact service timelines are not detailed in the available documentation, the requirement involves annual maintenance and calibration services for the two laboratory instruments. The procurement falls under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC code J066 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild Of Equipment- Instruments And Laboratory Equipment).
