BRAND SPECIFIC - Milli-Q Water Purification System

The Department of Justice, through the Drug Enforcement Administration, is soliciting a sole-source procurement for a Milli-Q IQ 7005 ultrapure water purification system under solicitation D-26-SS-0056, with a response deadline of July 15, 2026. This is a brand-specific acquisition justified under FAR 12.102(c) and FAR 11.204, restricting eligibility exclusively to the original equipment manufacturer, Millipore-Sigma, or its authorized federal resellers, as no alternative systems meet the technical requirements for forensic drug analysis at the INTREPID El Paso Laboratory. The system must be delivered as a complete, integrated package including all specified components such as the main purification unit, storage tank, wall mounts, remote dispensers, installation pack, polishers, filters, and activation services, with no partial submissions accepted. Delivery is required by July 31, 2026, at Fort Bliss, Texas, with the exact location in El Paso to be provided post-award. Evaluation will follow a Low Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, where only technically compliant offers—those including every listed item and valid reseller authorization—are considered, and award will go to the lowest-priced acceptable quotation. No socioeconomic set-asides apply, and offerors must provide a valid Unique Entity ID (UEI); GSA Contract Number must be included if quoting under a GSA schedule. The estimated contract value is $55,000, and while the contract type is not formally designated, it is inferred as Firm Fixed Price under FAR Part 12. Submission requires company letterhead, point of contact information, and adherence to the all-or-none requirement specified in the attached RFQ, with no formal evaluation factors beyond technical acceptability and price. No packaging, marking, inspection criteria, invoicing details, or contracting officer representative information are provided in the solicitation, and the contracting office is located in Springfield, Virginia.
