About this opportunity
The United States Secret Service (USSS) Procurement Division has issued a Sole Source Justification Notice for preventative maintenance of an EDAX Orbis X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) Spectrometer instrumentation system, awarding a fixed-price contract to Gatan, Inc. The contract includes one scheduled annual preventative maintenance visit and unlimited additional visits if the instrument malfunctions, with a base period of 12 months and four 12-month option years. Gatan, Inc. (formerly EDAX Inc.) was selected as the sole source vendor because they are the only authorized company capable of maintaining the system, which they originally installed in 2019. The justification was approved under FAR 13.501(a)(1)(ii), allowing the government to use sole source procurement at its discretion. The contract (70US0925P70093114) was awarded on February 10, 2025, with price reasonableness determined through comparison with previous purchases, current price lists, and government estimates. While specific contract values were not disclosed, the notice confirms the contract was awarded to Gatan, Inc. for maintenance services of the specialized scientific equipment used by the Forensic Services Division.
