About this opportunity

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), part of the Department of the Navy, has issued a sole source notice of intent to award a purchase order to Tecan US, Inc. for yearly maintenance coverage services. This is not a competitive solicitation or request for proposals, but rather a notification that the NRL intends to make a sole source award under Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The maintenance coverage is required to ensure accuracy of measurements, verify all working components are functional and within specification, and perform any necessary repairs promptly. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of up to 1000 employees. The purchase order will not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000.

The primary purpose of this notice is to inform the marketplace of NRL's intent to make a sole source award while providing an opportunity for other potential contractors to demonstrate their capabilities. Interested parties must respond by August 27, 2025 at 8:00 AM ET and must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government. Responses should reference notice number N00173-25-Q-1301265288 and demonstrate the respondent's ability to satisfy the agency's requirements. The government reserves sole discretion in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on any responses received, and no reimbursement will be provided for costs associated with submitting capability information. Only responses that can prove another source exists and that competition would benefit the government will be considered for potentially converting this to a competitive procurement.
