About this opportunity
The Environmental Protection Agency Region 4 published this Special Notice on April 7, 2026, announcing its intent to award a sole source fixed price contract to LABRepCo, LLC for the purchase, delivery, and installation of one Ultima Series 1400 LXP freestanding laboratory glassware washing machine. This is a notice of intent only and does not constitute a request for quotation, meaning no solicitation document will be issued and competing quotations will not be requested. The contract will be executed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 13, as the estimated contract value does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold of $350,000. The procurement is being conducted on a sole source basis under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), which permits award to a single responsible source when only one source can satisfy agency requirements.
The glassware washing machine is required by the EPA's Laboratory Services and Applied Science Division to clean labware and glassware in compliance with method specifications for inorganic, organic, and biological laboratory analyses. LABRepCo, LLC has been determined as the sole capable source due to its unique ability to configure and customize the equipment while providing repair, maintenance services, and technical support. The contractor's expertise ensures the laboratory can achieve high-capacity cleaning operations to maximize sample throughput and maintain contamination-free glassware essential for sensitive analyses. Since this is a notice of intent rather than an active solicitation, potential contractors should note that the due date of May 8, 2026, does not represent an opportunity to submit competing proposals. The sole source justification precludes other contractors from participating in this procurement, as LABRepCo, LLC is deemed the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency's specialized requirements.
Notice text
This is a notice of intent, not a request for a quotation. A solicitation document will not be issued, and quotations will not be requested.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to award a fixed price contract on a sole source basis to LABRepCo, LLC for the purchase, delivery and installation of one Ultima Series 1400 LXP freestanding Laboratory Glassware washing machine.
The requirement is needed for the Laboratory Services and Applied Science Division (LSASD) to properly clean labware and glassware required for method specifications of inorganic, organic, and biological laboratory analyses. Purchase of the LABRepCo, LLC Ultima Series 1400 LXP freestanding glassware washing machine (washer/dryer) allows the laboratory to clean glassware at a high capacity for maximum sample throughput and ensure that glassware is free of contamination that may adversely affect sensitive analyses.
LABRepCo, LLC is uniquely qualified to configure and customize the equipment and provide
repair, maintenance services, and technical support as needed. It is the only source which is capable
of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality because the supplies or
services are unique or highly specialized.
This purchase will be made utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with Federal Regulation (FAR) Part 13.106-1(b)(1) for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold of $350,000.00.
