NOI-Sole Source: Preventative Maintenance of Peak Scientific Genius XE35 Nitrog

The Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for preventative maintenance services on Peak Scientific Genius XE35 Nitrogen and Hydrogen Generators. This procurement falls under the Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance NAICS category (811210) and the Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment- Instruments and Laboratory Equipment PSC category (J066). The agency intends to award this contract on a sole source basis, indicating that only one contractor is deemed capable of providing the specialized maintenance services required for this specific laboratory equipment. The notice was posted on September 16, 2025, with a response deadline of September 26, 2025, providing interested parties with a 10-day window to submit any capability statements or challenges to the sole source determination. No specific evaluation criteria are detailed in this pre-solicitation notice, as is typical for sole source procurements where the government has already identified its preferred contractor based on unique qualifications or proprietary equipment expertise.

This procurement does not include any set-aside designations, making it available to all qualified contractors under full and open competition principles, though the sole source intent suggests limited competition. The notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide specific award values or budget ranges for the maintenance services. No quantities of equipment units requiring maintenance or specific timeline details for service delivery are specified in the available information. The federal contract opportunity is assigned Meta Opportunity ID 68c9a64003978d27df0f4b23 for tracking purposes. Given the specialized nature of the Peak Scientific equipment, the maintenance contract likely requires vendor-specific technical expertise and access to proprietary parts or software. The brief response window suggests the government may have already engaged in preliminary discussions with potential contractors and is using this notice primarily to fulfill transparency requirements while moving toward contract award.
