About this opportunity
The Drug Enforcement Administration issued a notice of intent on July 6, 2026 to negotiate a sole source purchase order with Thomas Scientific, LLC for a Full Spectrum Imaging System (FSIS) II Color Lab System and related forensic imaging equipment, with a capability statement deadline of July 20, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
Thomas Scientific holds the U.S. Patent for the FSIS and is the sole licensor of the associated software and algorithms; the company acquired the intellectual property when Arrowhead Forensics became a division under Thomas Scientific in October 2023. Market research confirmed no alternative sources can lawfully provide equivalent licensing or updates without violating copyright and licensing parameters, and Thomas Scientific does not distribute products through resellers.
The procurement includes a 20-megapixel color camera, 50mm UV lens, PC-based Windows 11 system, 27-inch touchscreen monitor, UV lamp, filter slide sets, flashlights with chargers, articulating arm, software, cables, case, on-site or digital training, two-year manufacturer warranty, and shipping. The acquisition will be conducted under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures as a firm-fixed price purchase order, anticipated to be in the range exceeding $10,000 but not exceeding $250,000.
Vendors that believe they can meet the Government's requirements may submit a capability statement to Monica.J.Gehrer@dea.gov by the July 20 deadline. The Government reserves sole discretion to determine whether to award solely to Thomas Scientific or open the requirement to competition based on responses received. NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) applies.
