About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command has issued a sole source justification notice for the procurement of a JEOL JSM-IT510LA scanning electron microscope (SEM) system to support the Strategic Systems Program's D5 Trident Fleet Ballistic Missile investigations. The justification is based on brand name requirements, specifically the need to ensure software and hardware interoperability with existing Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) equipment purchased in 2021. The sole source award will be made to JEOL USA, Inc. located in Peabody, Massachusetts, as changing to a different manufacturer would require costly personnel retraining and additional expenses. The contract award is scheduled for September 30, 2025, though the specific contract value has not been disclosed in the available documentation. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and PSC code 6640 for Laboratory Equipment and Supplies, with technical certification completed on June 13, 2025, and contracting officer approval granted on July 15, 2025.
