About this opportunity
This Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration provides rationale for awarding a sole source contract to JEOL USA, Inc. to supply one JEOL JSM IT800HL scanning electron microscope. The justification cites the need for compatibility with existing equipment, software, facilities and training as reasons for the sole source award. The related federal contract was awarded on August 30, 2022 for an unknown amount to an unknown vendor to replace an obsolete microscope at the Kennedy Space Center and meet the projected replacement timeline.
Notice text
The Government determined that all supplies and services were restrictive per the rationale supporting the use of 10 U.S.C 2304(c):
JEOL USA, Inc. is the manufacturer of and only source available to provide the brand name product JSMIT800HL in support of the CESO obsolescent procurement activity of FY22 to replace the JEOL 7500F FSEM located at KSC Building M70355 Room 1274C. It would take a great deal of additional work to evaluate other vendor’s alternate configurations to determine the impacts on equipment footprint, unit specifications, compatibility issues with existing equipment, and training. Without a thorough technical evaluation, the risk is substantial that an alternate vendor would provide a system with serious deficiencies leading to reduced compatibility, performance, and additional system administration labor. In addition to significant time needed to evaluate different brands, there is the potential impact to the processing time while the employees are trained efficiently on a new vendor/brand software. In order to meet the projected timeline, the Governments best option is to sole source to JOEL USA INC for the JEOL-JSM-IT800(HL).
Awarded contract 80TECH22PA005 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2022-08-30.
