About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency issued a sole source justification on June 11, 2026, for a Firm Fixed Price purchase order to SCIAPS, INC. for an X-550 XRF Lead Paint Analyzer, with a response deadline of June 26, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time for any firms seeking consideration. The procurement is restricted to the original equipment manufacturer under FAR 12.102(a); SciAps equipment is sold factory direct and not through dealers or distributors.
The Defense Centers for Public Health – Aberdeen requires this equipment to replace outdated and inoperable SciAps analyzers currently in inventory. The existing equipment has incompatible software and is unreliable; without functional analyzers, the Industrial Hygiene Field Services Division cannot perform lead paint analysis surveys required for the Department of War, resulting in mission failure. Market research conducted from December 2025 through February 2026 determined that competing vendors either require long-term rental arrangements with substantially higher total costs or do not offer the capability to purchase radioactive isotope replacements without additional fees. The SciAps X-550 employs electric X-ray technology rather than radioactive isotopes and includes isotope replacement in the purchase price, generating significant government cost savings. Delivery is required 60 days after order issuance. This notice is not a Request for Quotations; interested firms must submit written interest and capability statements by the June 26 deadline, though the government retains sole discretion to proceed or compete the requirement.
Notice text
The Defense Health Agency (DHA) intends to award a Firm Fixed Price sole source purchase order on behalf of the Defense Centers for Public Health - Aberdeen to SCIAPS, INC., located at 7 Constitution Way, Woburn, MA 01801, under the authority of RFO 12.102(a), Restricting Competition. This requirement is for the purchase of an X-550 XRF Lead Paint Analyzer.
SciAps is the Original Equipment Manufacturer to supply this specific lead paint analysis industrial hygiene sampling equipment. This equipment is needed to replace existing outdated and inoperable SciAps Equipment in inventory. The SciAps X-550 will be used to accurately conduct industrial hygiene surveys for the Department of War (DoW) requiring lead paint analysis. The current inventory of this specific equipment no longer has compatible software and is unreliable. A new SciAps Lead Paint Analyzer is needed to continue uniform analysis.
Further, this XRF Lead Paint Analyzer can only be purchased through the Original Equipment Manufacturer, SciAps Inc., as SciAps’s Analyzers are sold by them factory direct, and not through dealers or distributors. Without this equipment, the Industrial Hygiene Field Services (IHFS) Division will not be able to perform analysis surveys, thereby resulting in mission failure for the Department of War.
This is a notice of intent to issue this solicitation on a sole source basis. This notice of intent is NOT a Request For Quotations (RFQ).
