Brand Name Agilent High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (HPLC-MS)
Solicitation # FA860126Q0074
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center plans to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Agilent Technologies, Inc. for the procurement of a High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (HPLC-MS) to support the Air Force Institute of Technology at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Extensive market research, including reviews of GSA Advantage, prior procurements, expert input, and a Sources Sought notice, confirmed that Agilent is the only vendor capable of meeting the government’s requirements due to the proprietary nature of its Mass Hunter Software and HPLC-MS system. Any alternative vendor would require a complete overhaul of existing laboratory protocols, training, and data systems, resulting in unacceptable delays and loss of continuity. Agilent has no authorized distributors, and its equipment is uniquely compatible with the Air Force’s current infrastructure. The procurement is justified under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.103-1, citing the absence of alternative sources, and a formal Justification and Approval has been prepared. Interested parties may submit capability statements demonstrating their ability to deliver a fully compatible HPLC-MS system and software, but submissions must include clear and convincing evidence—not mere assertions—of compliance with the Statement of Work. All responses, questions, and documentation must be emailed to the designated contract specialists and contracting officer by July 30, 2026, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time, with the exact subject line “FA8601-26-Q-0074, High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (HPLC-MS)” to avoid processing delays or rejection. Emails with prohibited attachments such as .zip or .exe files will be blocked. This notice is not a competitive solicitation, and the government retains full discretion to proceed without competition regardless of responses received.
