About this opportunity
The Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Acquisition Management has published a Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source for the renewal of maintenance services for scientific laboratory equipment. This special notice involves a one-year service contract with Thermo Fisher Scientific for the maintenance of an LTQ XL Ion Trap and a Dionex ICS-6000 Ion Chromatography System. The opportunity is classified under NAICS code 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance services. The notice was posted on September 11, 2025, indicating the EPA's intention to proceed with a sole source procurement rather than conducting a competitive bidding process. This procurement falls under the civilian agency category and relates to specialized scientific instrumentation maintenance.
The primary purpose of this notice is to inform the contracting community of the EPA's intent to award a sole source contract for highly specialized scientific equipment maintenance services. Interested parties have until September 18, 2025, to respond to this notice, providing a seven-day window for any potential objections or alternative proposals. The sole source nature of this procurement suggests that Thermo Fisher Scientific may be the original equipment manufacturer or possess unique qualifications necessary for maintaining these specific analytical instruments. Given the specialized nature of ion trap mass spectrometry and ion chromatography systems, the EPA likely determined that only the original manufacturer or their authorized service providers possess the technical expertise and proprietary knowledge required for proper maintenance. This renewal indicates an ongoing relationship for critical laboratory equipment that supports the EPA's environmental testing and analytical capabilities.
