About this opportunity
The Naval Sea Systems Command's Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane is seeking to procure a Thermal Analysis Test System, specifically a TA Instruments Discovery TGA 5500 and Discovery DSC 2500 system with associated accessories and training, under solicitation number N00164-26-Q-0086. This sole-source procurement is justified by the Navy's historical reliance on TA Instruments equipment at Navy laboratories for analyzing similar materials and the critical need for data consistency across laboratory facilities supporting multiple Navy programs including Crane, TR-343, TR-917, SP-22, and NAVAR. The contract encompasses 15 line items with firm fixed pricing, including thermal analysis equipment, installation services, basic operational training sessions, replacement parts, and accessories such as sample pans, gas delivery modules, routers, and halogen bulbs. While this is a sole-source procurement with TA Instruments - Waters LLC, the Government has invited all responsible sources to submit capability statements for consideration, though the final decision to conduct competitive procurement remains solely at the Government's discretion. The solicitation closes on March 19, 2026, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time, with offers to be submitted via email to Christina.l.staggs.civ@us.navy.mil.
This is an unrestricted procurement with no set-aside designations, and the sole intended awardee is TA Instruments - Waters LLC, located at 159 Lukens Dr., Historic New Castle, Delaware 19720. The contract award value is not disclosed in the publicly available solicitation documents. The complete thermal analysis system and all associated components must be delivered to NSWC Crane, Warfare Center, 300 Highway 361, Crane, Indiana 47522-5001 by June 1, 2026, within 60 days of contract award. The procurement is being conducted under FAR Part 13 procedures with a simplified acquisition threshold approach. All contractors must be properly registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to submission, and interested vendors are required to monitor sam.gov for any amendments or changes to the requirement prior to the closing date.
