About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command, through the Commander Fleet Readiness Centers (COMFRC) Procurement Group at Patuxent River, Maryland, seeks annual preventative maintenance and calibration services for two specialized Tescan scanning electron microscopes: one Tescan Vega II XMU and one Tescan Mira-3 GMU. The procurement is being pursued on a sole source basis under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 13.106-1(b), as Tescan USA Inc. is the original equipment manufacturer and the only source reasonably available to satisfy the agency's requirements due to the proprietary nature of the instruments' software and hardware architecture. The Materials Engineering Laboratory at Fleet Readiness Center Southeast (FRCSE) has determined that these highly specialized instruments require OEM-level expertise and support that cannot be adequately provided by third-party vendors. While this is not a competitive solicitation, responsible sources may submit a capability statement within three calendar days of the notice publication for the government's consideration in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The due date for capability statements is December 15, 2025, and the point of contact is Brandon Fabricante at gregory.b.fabricante2.civ@us.navy.mil.
There are no set-aside designations for this procurement. Tescan USA Inc., located at 765 Commonwealth Drive, Suite 101, Warrendale, Pennsylvania 15086-7520 (CAGE: 0FX68), is identified as the intended awardee and current OEM service provider. The contract will be structured as a base contract with four option years, establishing a multi-year maintenance relationship for the two instruments. The place of performance is Jacksonville, Florida 32212. No specific budget range is disclosed in the solicitation notice, though the requirement encompasses both preventative maintenance and calibration services, with the Vega XMU potentially including a critical hardware upgrade to transition the backscatter electron detector from manual to motorized configuration as noted in the supporting sole source justification documentation.
