About this opportunity
The Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Agilent Technologies for maintenance services on a proprietary analytical instrument. The notice pertains to a maintenance agreement for the Agilent LCMS-20464 Custom System Configuration CROSSLAB SILVER instrument with a performance period from September 15, 2025, through September 14, 2026. NETL plans to utilize Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures for this procurement. The agency has determined that Agilent Technologies is the only authorized vendor capable of providing the required maintenance services for this specialized laboratory equipment. This procurement falls under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and PSC category H249 for Equipment and Materials Testing maintenance and repair services.
The primary objective behind this sole source approach is to ensure consistent, calibrated research results and maintain safe, reliable operation of the analytical instrument, as any maintenance performed by unauthorized vendors would compromise equipment integrity. Interested parties who believe they can meet NETL's requirements have until 1:00 PM Eastern Time on September 2, 2025, to submit written evidence of their capabilities to Shannon.Lynch@netl.doe.gov. The notice explicitly states that telephone responses will not be accepted and that this announcement is not a request for quotes or proposals. To be considered eligible, contractors must demonstrate their ability to provide the specific maintenance services for this proprietary Agilent system while maintaining equipment integrity and operational standards. The government reserves sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with competition based on any responses received to this notice.
Notice text
Notice of intent to sole source to AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES for the purchase of an analytical instrument maintenance service for the proprietary Agilent LCMS-20464 Custom System Configuration CROSSLAB SILVER. The Period of Performance (POP) will be a base year of 09/15/2025 – 09/14/2026
In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, the Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) intends to award a purchase order on a sole source basis to AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES for the purchase of an analytical instrument maintenance service agreement for the proprietary Agilent LCMS-20464 Custom System Configuration CROSSLAB SILVER with a POP of 09/15/2025 – 09/14/2026. AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES is the only authorized vendor for this purchase. To the best of NETL’s knowledge, no other vendor can provide this type of service because this instrument must be maintained by Agilent to ensure consistent, calibrated research results and to maintain safe and reliable operation of the instrument. Any other vendors working on the equipment would invalidate the equipment integrity. AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES is the only known source that can provide this service, and no known potential alternate sources exist which could satisfy NETL's requirement.
