About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime issued this sole source justification notice (SPRDL1-25-R-0210) for the award of a firm-fixed-price contract to Thermo Scientific Portable Analytical Instruments (CAGE 392A9) for Handheld Identifier units used by the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center to identify chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial chemicals. The procurement encompasses 44 total units, consisting of a base quantity of 22 units plus an option quantity of 22 units, with an estimated 90-day delivery timeline. The sole source justification is predicated on Thermo Scientific being the only approved source capable of producing the required Handheld Identifier units equipped with proprietary microSD card software modifications specific to the Dismounted Reconnaissance Sets, Kits, and Outfits (DR SKO) configuration, as competing instruments from Agilent and Smiths Detection lack the necessary microSD card compatibility and cannot meet government requirements. The government possesses the Technical Data Package but cannot legally obtain the intellectual property or reverse engineer a competitive design within reasonable timeframes and costs, with a competitive procurement estimated at approximately $27.5 million and multiple years of development. The Competition Advocate approved this sole source acquisition on September 4, 2025, under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), and the Contracting Officer certified fair and reasonable pricing based on commercial product analysis.
