About this opportunity
The Library of Congress issued this sole-source justification notice on March 4, 2026, for the award of a maintenance and repair contract to Smiths Detection, Inc. for their proprietary HI-SCAN 6040i X-Ray scanning system located at the Library's Packard Campus in Culpeper, Virginia. The contract encompasses comprehensive maintenance and repair services for a five-year period from April 28, 2026 through April 27, 2031, including semi-annual preventative maintenance visits, annual inspections, and emergency corrective repairs with a four-hour response time and 24-hour completion requirement. Smiths Detection is the sole authorized provider of maintenance services for this equipment as the original equipment manufacturer and the only firm in the United States certified to provide OEM-authorized repair services with Safety Act Certification and OEM-certified technicians. The Library determined that sole-source contracting represents the best value since no other source is capable of maintaining this proprietary system at a reasonable price, and committed to conducting competitive solicitations for any follow-on contracts or replacement equipment. The contract was awarded on April 4, 2026, under contract number LCOSE26P000X, with the specific award amount not publicly disclosed in this notice.
