About this opportunity

This Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice is for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to procure a Thermo Fisher Quattro S Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM) and associated detectors through a sole-source contract. The ESEM is essential for NASA's flight safety and failure analysis activities, as it provides the ability to analyze materials sensitive to a hard vacuum without alteration. NASA conducted market research but only received a positive response from the original equipment manufacturer, FEI Company. The estimated value for the ESEM and detectors is undisclosed, and NASA plans to award a sole-source contract to FEI Company under FAR 6.302-1, as no other supplier can meet the agency's requirements.

Notice text

The Quattro S ESEM was developed by Thermo Fisher Scientific Corporation. They are the original end-line manufacturer. 

Awarded contract 80TECH24PA007 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2024-06-28.
