About this opportunity
The Federal Bureau of Investigation issued a Notice of Intent on May 21, 2026, to sole-source a one-year calibration care and maintenance agreement with Vaisala for proprietary temperature monitoring equipment (one DL1016, one DL2000, and two DL1000 instruments) used in FBI Laboratory operations, with responses due by 5:00 PM EST on May 29, 2026. The sole-source procurement is authorized under FAR 6.302-1 because Vaisala manufactures the equipment and provides the only available remote technical support, software updates, and customer training; replacement with alternative systems would require new software licenses and hardware at significantly greater cost. The agreement covers accredited calibration services (30 balance calibrations and temperature calibrations for the DL1016; four balance calibrations and humidity/temperature calibration for the DL2000; and probe calibrations for the two DL1000 units), with benefits including fixed pricing, faster delivery, training access, and free shipping. Delivery is due within 120 days of order receipt. Interested parties must submit capability statements by the deadline demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the Government, including Dun and Bradstreet number, CAGE Code, UEI, business size, and detailed experience with the required instruments. The Government will evaluate responses solely to determine whether to conduct competitive procurement; submission does not bind the Government to award, and no reimbursement for capability statement preparation will be provided.
