About this opportunity
The US Air Force Academy (USAFA), contracting through the 10th Contracting Squadron, issued a Notice of Intent to sole-source award a commercial contract for an Electron Nuclear Double Optical Resonance (ENDOR) System extension to Bruker Biospin Corporation, with capability statements due August 14, 2026 at 2:00 PM MST.
USAFA determined that Bruker Biospin is the only responsible source based on compatibility requirements with existing Bruker pulsed EPR/ENDOR resonators. The award is anticipated on or about September 30, 2026 under Firm Fixed Price terms and Part 12 simplified procedures, citing 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) authority for non-competitive procurement.
The ENDOR system must meet specific technical thresholds: X-band operating frequency, arbitrary waveform generation with at least 1.0 Gsamples/s and 2 GB onboard memory, pulse timing resolution under 15 nanoseconds, broadband RF frequency range from 0.1 to 100 MHz, at least 150 W RF power amplification, a dedicated digital controller equivalent to a DICE unit for advanced multi-dimensional ENDOR sequences, and automated software for tuning and 2D/3D data acquisition.
Interested parties may submit capability statements demonstrating how competition would benefit the Government to Mikayla Brandt (mikayla.brandt@us.af.mil) and Ken Helgeson (kenneth.helgeson.3@us.af.mil). Contractors must maintain current SAM registration. NAICS 334516, PSC 6630.
