Maintenance service for Bruker Quantax Energy-Dispersive Spectrometry system

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) has published a Special Notice regarding their intent to award a sole source purchase order to Bruker AXS, LLC for maintenance services of a Bruker Quantax Energy-Dispersive Spectrometry system. This notice falls under the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command and is classified under NAICS code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance. The government intends to make this award prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. The procurement is being conducted under the authority of FAR 13.106 and 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), which allows for sole source contracting when only one responsible source is capable of fulfilling the requirements. The Product Service Code for this effort is J053, relating to maintenance, repair, and rebuild of equipment hardware and abrasives.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of the government's intent to proceed with a non-competitive procurement, as Bruker AXS, LLC is deemed the only responsible source capable of providing the required maintenance services for their proprietary equipment. While this is explicitly not a request for competitive quotations, interested parties may respond to demonstrate their interest and capability by the closing date of July 21, 2025. Responses must be submitted in writing via email to William.h.morton39.civ@us.navy.mil using the contact information provided in the synopsis. The government will consider all information received solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement instead. However, the final determination not to compete this proposed contract based on any responses received remains entirely at the government's discretion.
