About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency's U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense (USAMRICD) published this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for preventative maintenance and repair services for an ultra performance convergent chromatography (UPC2) instrument system. The contract was awarded to Waters Technologies Corporation on September 25, 2025, under contract number HT942525PE029, though the award amount was not disclosed. The sole source justification is based on Waters being the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and the only vendor capable of providing proprietary OEM parts, certified engineers, required response times of 48-hour telephone support and 5-business day onsite service, and maintaining research continuity without disruption. The contract includes a base period from January 1 to December 31, 2026, with an option period extending through December 31, 2027, providing comprehensive 24-7 telephonic support, calibration, software upgrades, and instrument tuning services. Market research confirmed that two other vendors, Bramovix LLC and Arcabel Solutions LLC, responded to the Notice of Intent but could not meet the OEM parts, certified personnel, or timeline requirements. The procurement aims to ensure optimal system performance and preserve the integrity of existing research projects while avoiding unnecessary expenditure on replacement equipment.
