About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center seeks procurement of one Zeiss AxioObserver 7 Mat inverted materials microscope to support the science and engineering laboratory at Hill Air Force Base, with proposals due May 18, 2026. This is a total small business set-aside under a simplified acquisition (solicitation FA8227-26-Q-5001).
Place of performance is 7981 Georgia St, Hill AFB, UT 84056. The 309 Commodities Maintenance Group has determined that a single Zeiss AxioObserver 7 Mat identical to the government's existing unit is the only reasonably available source; the requirement mandates operational continuity, data compatibility, and workflow uniformity with the current Zeiss-specific Zen core software, programmable motorized stages, and analytical modules already in place. Personnel must use both systems interchangeably without additional training, and the same brand and model prevents inefficient data conversion processes.
The estimated contract cost is $94,254.49. The NAICS code is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing; the PSC code is 6640, Laboratory Equipment And Supplies. Market research identified three potential sources: Bartels & Stout Inc. (Small Business, CAGE 2Y778, Bellevue, Washington), Carl Zeiss Industrial Quality Solutions LLC (Large Business, CAGE 9DRR4, Maple Grove, Minnesota), and Allied High Tech Products Inc. (Small Business, CAGE 0WVC6, Cerritos, California). The Contracting Officer determined on April 23, 2026, that single source procurement is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
