About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole source contract with Thermo Scientific, Inc. for Raman Spectrometers used in the Dismounted Reconnaissance Sets, Kits, and Outfits (DR SKO) system. The contract involves procuring 51 base units and 51 optional units (102 total) of spectrometers with NSN 6665-01-627-8848, with a total estimated value of approximately $30 million over six years. Market research conducted by the agency included a Sources Sought notice that identified five potential vendors, but none could meet the specific system requirements due to Thermo Scientific's proprietary software modifications implemented via microSD card. Previous contract orders to Federal Resources in August 2019 and September 2020 for six units each established pricing precedents, with those orders valued at $331,419 and $348,453 respectively. The sole source justification is predicated on the government's assessment that reverse engineering the system would cost approximately $30 million and take six years, making Thermo Scientific the only viable vendor for these specialized spectrometers.
