About this opportunity
The CDC Office of Acquisition Services (NIOSH Health Effects Laboratory Division) intends to sole-source a firm-fixed-price purchase order to HORIBA Instruments Incorporated for one-time preventive maintenance, laser source replacement, and optical alignment of Raman spectrometers, with a capability statement deadline of August 21, 2026.
The Government justifies sole-source award under FAR 6.103-1 based on HORIBA's status as Original Equipment Manufacturer; the agency states that HORIBA alone possesses proprietary alignment software, firmware updates, current engineering bulletins, and OEM-certified technicians qualified to service the confocal Raman spectroscopy and laser photonics equipment. The analytical platform provides high-resolution chemical mapping essential for characterizing environmental and workplace hazards, including identification and quantification of toxic workplace aerosols and NMAM method development for crystalline silica.
Interested vendors that believe they can meet these requirements must submit written capability statements to Contracting Specialist Felipe Cardenas at tpp5@cdc.gov by August 21, 2026. The Government explicitly notes this is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all submitted product, capabilities, and pricing information will be reviewed to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement, with that determination solely within the Government's discretion.
NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing); PSC 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies).
