About this opportunity
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division is soliciting quotes for preventive maintenance services and replacement parts for a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) under solicitation number N0017825Q6842. The procurement includes three specific manufactured components: an Aperture Plate (P/N: 539-0347), Metal Gasket-4 5 EA/SET (P/N: L46-8038), and FE Tip (P/N: 580-4289), along with associated preventive maintenance services including tip replacement, vacuum restoration through ion pump baking, discharge testing, and column alignment. All materials must be Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliant, and offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for award. The contract will be evaluated using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable criteria and awarded as a firm fixed price contract under Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted via email to lee.a.mizelle.civ@us.navy.mil prior to the quote deadline of August 15, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. EST, with an anticipated award date of September 14, 2025.
This procurement is designated as a sole source award to HITACHI HIGH-TECH AMERICA, INC., located in Dallas, Texas, and is not eligible for small business set-aside. The Navy justifies the sole source approach based on Hitachi being the original equipment manufacturer with exclusive software and the only entity capable of performing the required preventive maintenance and providing direct replacement parts for the existing equipment. The maintenance services require one technician to travel to Dahlgren, Virginia for approximately five days to perform the yearly maintenance tasks critical for microanalysis and elemental analysis projects. Performance will occur at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division facility in Dahlgren, VA 22448, with shipping and freight costs to be included in the quoted price. The solicitation emphasizes that any delay or failure to procure these parts and services would result in work stoppage of the critical SEM equipment.
