About this opportunity
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division is procuring specialized scientific testing equipment through a firm fixed price contract for Q-Labs Xe-3-HDSE Xenon Arc testing chambers and supporting equipment. This brand name procurement seeks two Xe-3-HDSE Xenon Testing Chambers along with associated components including 12 Xenon Arc Lamps, 6 UV filters, smart sensors, and dual spray cart packaging units to support UV degradation and corrosion studies. The equipment features unique capabilities including three air-cooled Xenon lamps, precise relative humidity control, dual spray functionality, and the ability to reproduce full-spectrum sunlight for monitoring air temperature, relative humidity, and ultraviolet degradation. Quotes will be evaluated based on price and technical capability, with submissions required to include pricing, CAGE code, FOB destination, point of contact information, GSA contract number if applicable, business size certification, and pricing rounded to the nearest whole dollar. All quotes must be submitted by 12:00 PM on September 4, 2025, to the designated contracting officer via email.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1000 employees. Q-Labs is identified as the sole manufacturer and vendor with proprietary rights to the Xe-3-HDSE model, establishing this as a single-source procurement justified under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The procurement involves two complete testing chamber systems with delivery requested by September 30, 2025, to support installation in Building 60 Code6130 laboratory spaces. Performance will occur at the NSWC Carderock Division facility in Bethesda, Maryland, though the solicitation notice indicates a place of performance in Westlake, Maryland. The specialized nature of this equipment and Q-Labs' exclusive manufacturing rights justify the brand name approach for this time-sensitive procurement supporting critical corrosion research capabilities.
