About this opportunity
The Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source a purchase order to IXRF Systems for an Atlas XRF Instrument Service Maintenance Agreement. This Special Notice, posted on March 11, 2026, represents NETL's intention to award a sole source contract under Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 12 for commercial products and services. NETL has determined that IXRF Systems is the only known source capable of providing the required service maintenance for the laboratory's existing Atlas XRF instrument. The contracting officer has conducted market research and identified no alternative sources that could fulfill the stated requirements. This notice provides interested parties with an opportunity to challenge the sole source determination before the contract is awarded.
Any interested party that believes it possesses the capability to meet NETL's maintenance requirements must submit written evidence of their qualifications to Contract Specialist Arturo Manantan at arturo.manantan@netl.doe.gov by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on March 26, 2026. Responses must be submitted in writing only; telephone inquiries will not be accepted. Potential contractors should provide documentation demonstrating their ability to deliver the Atlas XRF instrument service maintenance that NETL requires to ensure satisfactory operation of its existing equipment. The government will evaluate all responses solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement rather than proceed with the sole source award. The final decision regarding whether to compete this requirement remains entirely within the government's discretion. This opportunity is classified under NAICS 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC category J066 (Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuild of Equipment—Instruments and Laboratory Equipment).
