Bruker Autoflex Sample Tray Repair

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) intends to award a sole source purchase order to Bruker Scientific LLC for the repair of a Bruker Autoflex sample tray under Simplified Acquisition Procedures as authorized by FAR Part 13.106-1(b), with a maximum value not exceeding $250,000. This action is justified on the basis that only Bruker Scientific LLC possesses the unique capability to perform the repair, and no other sources can meet the agency’s requirements. No competitive solicitation is being issued, and all inquiries or submissions must be directed to the specified point of contact with explicit reference to the Notice of Intent number N00173-26-Q-1301371041. Interested parties may submit evidence demonstrating that competition would be advantageous to the government, but such submissions must provide clear and convincing justification; the government retains sole discretion whether to pursue competition, and no reimbursement will be provided for costs incurred in responding. The response deadline is June 3, 2026, at 1700 hours, and submissions must be sent via traditional correspondence, not email. Performance of the repair work is expected to occur at the NRL’s location in Washington, District of Columbia, with inspection and acceptance responsibilities resting with the Government. No detailed technical specifications, pricing line items, packaging requirements, invoicing instructions, or contract clauses are outlined in the notice, reflecting a streamlined, non-competitive procurement limited to repair services under simplified acquisition rules. The NAICS code 811210 applies, and no set-aside provisions, representations, certifications, or special contract conditions beyond the sole-source justification are specified.
