Notice of Intent to Sole Source for the Malvern Panalytical Empyrean Service AgThe Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory intends to sole-source a one-year service agreement renewal for its Malvern Panalytical Empyrean x-ray diffractometer, with a period of performance from July 15, 2026, to July 14, 2027, under FAR Part 12 for commercial services. This action is justified due to the proprietary nature of the instrument, which requires maintenance, calibration, and repairs using manufacturer-specific components, procedures, and firmware only available through the original equipment manufacturer, Malvern Panalytical, Inc. Third-party service providers cannot perform these tasks without voiding the warranty, compromising the instrument’s reliability, or lacking access to critical technical data such as electronic designs, service protocols, and calibration methods. Market research confirms no other entity can meet the lab’s operational and warranty requirements, making this a non-competitive procurement. A notice of intent has been posted to allow any potential provider an opportunity to demonstrate capability, with written responses required by 5:00 PM EDT on July 10, 2026, submitted exclusively via email to the Contract Specialist, Arturo Manantan, at arturo.manantan@netl.doe.gov. Telephone responses will not be accepted, and the government retains full discretion to determine whether competition is warranted based on submissions. The service will be performed on-site at NETL’s facility in Morgantown, West Virginia, and no pricing details, contract value, or formal evaluation factors are provided because this is a pre-solicitation notice, not a competitive solicitation. No packaging, labeling, invoicing, or special reporting requirements are specified, consistent with the commercial service nature of the procurement under FAR Part 12.

The system must include on-site installation, immediate on-site comprehensive training, and one year of ongoing phone and virtual support. All items and services are to be delivered to the Responsive Agricultural Food Systems Research Unit in College Station, Texas, within 60 days of award under F.O.B. Destination terms, with a loading dock available at the delivery site. The solicitation is unrestricted and open to full and open competition, with the government seeking to determine if any domestic end-product items satisfy technical requirements. Quotes must be submitted on company letterhead with full pricing for all line items, inclusive of all costs including shipping, valid for at least 60 days, and must include the place of manufacture. Offerors must submit a completed SF-1449 with specific blocks filled and all CLINs priced, a valid Sam.gov Unique Entity ID, and a capability statement or technical documentation demonstrating ability to meet all salient characteristics outlined in the specifications. Evaluation will follow the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, where only the lowest priced quote is initially evaluated for technical acceptability and past performance; if it fails, the next lowest is evaluated in sequence until a technically acceptable quote with acceptable or neutral past performance is identified. Technical acceptability requires strict compliance with all salient characteristics in the specifications, and any failure to submit all required documents or meet deadlines will result in automatic rejection without discussion. The government reserves the right to conduct discussions but intends to award without them. Awards will be made no later than July 2, 2026, at 9:00 AM PT, with proposals submitted via email to Elizabeth Calhoun, and must include the solicitation title and number in the subject line.
