The Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command, through Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane, seeks maintenance services for a Meridian IV Microscope and related components, with responses due November 19, 2026 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. The procurement is a sole-source action to FEI Company of Hillsboro, Oregon, under FAR 13.106-1, and the notice uses no set-aside. The justification cites FEI's proprietary rights to all data, drawings, and schematics, its trained and licensed technical personnel, and its stock of certified repair and replacement parts. Capability statements will be considered, but the Government retains sole discretion over whether to compete.
Performance is at NSWC Crane, 300 Highway 361, Crane, Indiana 47522-5001, where inspection and acceptance occur at destination.

A October 21, 2026 memorandum states the microscope supports failure analysis for the GXV Division, that downtime would severely affect mission capability, and that an alternative tool would require 10-12 months for delivery. Questions and submissions route to Cierra Vaughn at cierra.n.vaughn2.civ@us.navy.mil or 812-381-3906.
