About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command's 325th Contracting Squadron has published a Special Notice regarding preventative maintenance services for Thermo Electron equipment at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida. This notice serves to publicly release a redacted Sole Source Justification that was conducted in accordance with DAFFARS 5313.501. The contract opportunity involves a 12-month base period with four 12-month option periods, covering maintenance services from September 15, 2025, to September 14, 2030. The services encompass comprehensive laboratory equipment maintenance including cleaning, calibration, testing, repairs, and routine service to ensure compliance with scientific laboratory standards. The contract value falls between the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and $750,000, with no set-aside designation applied.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to publish the sole source justification for awarding this preventative maintenance agreement exclusively to Thermo Electron North America LLC. The Air Force conducted extensive market research, contacting seven potential vendors, but determined that only Thermo Fisher Scientific possesses the exclusive proprietary rights to the equipment's design, software, and maintenance protocols. Contractors must be certified Field Service Engineers authorized by Thermo Fisher Scientific to service these specialized laboratory instruments, effectively limiting eligibility to the original equipment manufacturer. The notice indicates a due date of August 31, 2025, and specifies that the contract will be awarded using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The agency has committed to continuing market monitoring for potential alternative service providers in future acquisitions, though the current justification supports sole source procurement based on the proprietary nature of the equipment and maintenance requirements.
