About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Headquarters Air Force Academy has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Single Source for a specialized X-ray crystallography equipment upgrade. The notice pertains to modifying an existing Synergy-i system by replacing the current detector with a new HyPix-6000HE Hybrid Photon Counting Detector. The upgrade is specifically for the Air Force Academy's single-crystal x-ray diffraction facility, with the intent to award a commercial contract to Rigaku Americas Holding, Inc. The current detector is identified as older and degraded, producing lower data quality with increased data collection time. The modification aims to enhance the facility's analytical capabilities through advanced detector technology.
Contractors interested in this opportunity must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and may submit capability statements demonstrating why competition would be advantageous to the government. The deadline for submitting these statements is 2:00 PM MDT on May 5, 2025, with responses to be sent to specified Air Force email addresses. The estimated contract cost range for similar single-crystal x-ray analytical systems is between $50,000 and $500,000, depending on sophistication and features. The contracting activity is identified as 10 CONS/PKB, with a specific Purchase Request/Local ID Number of F4BWB05072A001. The Contracting Officer has determined, in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1), that Rigaku Instruments is the only reasonably available source for this specialized equipment upgrade.
