About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime has awarded a sole-source contract, SPRDL1-27-C-A007, under a limited sources justification for analyzers that measure cloud and pour point of diesel fuel, with the award dated October 27, 2026. The notice's description redacts the awardee and the award value. The attached justification summary identifies the awardee as Petroleum Analyzer Co L.P. (PAC) of Houston, Texas, and describes a firm-fixed-price contract for Cloud and Pour Point Analyzers (part number 0119-012-001ML / 12686215) under NSN 6635-01-717-1501, funded with Army Working Capital Funds. The summary lists a base quantity of 12 units and a 100% option quantity of 12 units. The units support the Petroleum Quality Analysis System-Enhanced (PQAS-E) mobile fuel testing laboratory. The set-aside is "No Set-Aside Used," and the notice carries NAICS 334516 and PSC 6635.
The action cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 (only one responsible source). The justification rests on the absence of a competitive Technical Data Package, the Government's lack of rights to specifications, testing and validation completed by Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC), integration with custom Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) software requiring instrument-specific code, custom anti-shock trays for PQAS-E deployment, storage requirements of -25 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, and instrument-specific technical manuals. Market research rejected three alternatives (Cannon MPC-6, Analytical Automated Mini, and Orbis AirSTAR CPPP) as technically unsuitable because of sample size requirements, physical space constraints, or operational complexity in the mobile lab. A Sources Sought Notice posted July 14, 2025 drew two responses, Expotech USA, Inc. and Kijero, LLC, both identified as distributors of other brands. Certifications from GVSC, TACOM procurement, and the Contracting Officer are dated December 2025.
