The United States Air Force, through AFLCMC/PZIBA at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, intends to award a sole source contract to Life Technologies Corporation, a division of Thermo Fisher Scientific, for the maintenance and user training of Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) equipment used by the Air Force Institute of Technology. This action is justified under RFO 6.103-1(b) because only the original equipment manufacturer possesses the proprietary software, specialized calibration tools, and authorized training necessary to ensure the system's operational integrity and mission readiness. Utilizing any third-party vendor would terminate existing OEM support and pose severe risks to critical academic and research schedules, particularly those tied to Fall 2026 deliverables. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed price under NAICS code 334516, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. All responsible sources may submit capability statements or exceptions to the sole source intent, but only if received within five days of this notice. The Government will evaluate such submissions solely to determine whether full and open competition is warranted. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management prior to any potential award. Correspondence must be sent to dametria.walder@us.af.mil and claire.hess@us.af.mil no later than 11:00 a.m. EDT on Monday, August 3, 2026, with the exact subject line “FA860126Q0108 AFIT qPCR maintenance and training.” Only PDF, DOC, or XLS attachments are permitted; .zip and .exe files will be blocked by security filters. The Statement of Work and Redacted Sole Source Justification are attached for reference.

INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE


The United States Air Force, AFLCMC/PZIBA, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433-5344 publishes this notice of intent to award a sole source contract for informational purposes only. This proposed action is for the acquisition of Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) maintenance and training for the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) located at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433.



The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of RFO 6.103-1(b), “One responsible source. Agencies may contract without providing for full and open competition when the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements”, resulting in a firm fixed price contract. To ensure mission readiness and data integrity for AFIT teaching and research, it is recommended to award a sole-source contract to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Life Technologies Corporation (a part of Thermo Fisher Scientific). Only the OEM possesses proprietary training, specialized calibration tools, and software access required to maintain this complex system. Utilizing an unauthorized third-party vendor will immediately void existing OEM support and introduces severe schedule risks that would delay critical Fall 2026 academic and research deliverables. The Contracting Officer has determined that only one source is reasonably available: Life Technologies Corporation (a division of ThermoFisher Scientific).



This proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification System code (NAICS) 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1,000 employees. 


The proposed source is Life Technologies Corporation (a division of ThermoFisher Scientific), 5781 Van Allen Way, Carlsbad, CA 92008 USA.


This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation, or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government if received within five (5) days of this notice. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.


The Department of Defense (DoD) has determined the System for Award Management (SAM) to be the single DoD registration for contractors who conduct business or who are interested in conducting business with the DoD.  Contractors must be registered in SAM prior to award for contracts issued after 29 May 2012.  You may contact SAM at 866-606-8220. SAM website:  www.SAM.gov.


The contact for this acquisition is Dametria Walder and Claire Hess. Any information should be e-mailed to dametria.walder@us.af.mil and claire.hess@us.af.mil no later than 11:00 am EDT, Monday, 03 August 2026. Only inquiries/information received by this date will be considered.


Be advised that all correspondence sent via e-mail shall contain a subject line that reads “FA860126Q0108 AFIT qPCR maintenance and training.” Note that e-mail filters at Wright-Patterson AFB are designed to filter e-mails without subject lines or with suspicious subject lines or contents (i.e., .exe, or .zip files).  Therefore, if this subject line is not included, the e-mail may not get through the e-mail filters.  Also, be advised that .zip or .exe files are not allowable attachments and may be deleted by the e-mail filters at Wright-Patterson AFB.  If sending attachments with e-mail ensure only .PDF, .doc, or .xls documents are sent.  The e-mail filter may delete any other form of attachments.

FACSLyric Flow Cytometry SystemThe National Cancer Institute, under the National Institutes of Health, intends to award a sole source contract to Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD) for the procurement of the BD FACSLyric Flow Cytometry System, citing FAR 6.302-1 due to the absence of any other responsible source capable of meeting the agency’s specific requirements. The FACSLyric system is an integrated platform comprising proprietary hardware, firmware, software, calibration protocols, and factory-supported installation and training that are exclusively manufactured and maintained by BD Biosciences. No third-party vendor can replicate or provide equivalent components, as the system’s functionality, data acquisition workflows, and quality control procedures are tightly coupled with BD’s proprietary software, FACSuite, and its associated automation and reagent ecosystem. Substituting equipment from another manufacturer would necessitate complete redevelopment of laboratory processes, revalidation of assays, and retraining of personnel, resulting in significant delays, increased costs, and unacceptable technical risk. All capability statements from potential vendors, including small businesses and other designated small business categories, may be submitted via email to haunp@mail.nih.gov no later than 9:00 a.m. EDT on August 7, 2026, solely to assess whether competitive procurement is feasible. However, the government has indicated that it anticipates awarding the contract approximately five calendar days after the response deadline unless a viable alternative is identified. The solicitation number is 75N98026Q00904, the NAICS code is 334516, and the place of performance is Bethesda, Maryland. The system will be installed and supported at the National Cancer Institute’s facility, and all warranty, technical support, and software updates are contingent upon BD’s exclusive authorization and supply.

Upgrade to the Zeiss Serial Block Face Scanning Electron MicroscopeThe National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) intends to award a sole source contract to Carl Zeiss for an upgrade to an existing Zeiss Serial Block Face Scanning Electron Microscope used for three-dimensional imaging of cells and tissues. The upgrade is restricted to the original equipment manufacturer due to the proprietary nature of the instrument’s hardware, software, firmware, and system integration, all of which are exclusively developed and controlled by Carl Zeiss. Third-party vendors lack access to the necessary technical specifications, source code, calibration procedures, and engineering documentation required to perform the upgrade, making it impossible for any other provider to meet the agency’s performance requirements. The system’s functionality depends on precise compatibility between its integrated components, and only Carl Zeiss can guarantee proper alignment, calibration, and validation using proprietary tools and factory-certified engineers. Any non-authorized modification would void warranties, invalidate service agreements, and jeopardize future software updates and technical support. No competitive alternative exists that can deliver an equivalent upgrade while preserving the instrument’s performance, research continuity, or compatibility with existing datasets and workflows. The government has determined that no other responsible source can satisfy the requirement under FAR 6.302-1. A capability statement from any interested party may be submitted by August 7, 2026, to assess potential competition, but the award is expected within five days of that date unless a viable competitor is identified. The contract will be administered by NIBIB in Bethesda, Maryland, with primary contact through Trish Haun at haunp@mail.nih.gov.

Proposals must be submitted via email by August 28, 2026, to two designated point of contacts, formatted as a single email under 5 MB with PDF, DOCX, or XLSX attachments only, and must include the offeror’s SAM Unique ID, CAGE Code, TIN, and completed Representations and Certifications. Award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, with technical proposals rated Acceptable and pricing evaluated as fair, reasonable, and unbalanced. Offerors must maintain active SAM registration, hold CMMC Level 1 certification in the Supplier Performance Risk System, comply with the Buy American Act, and demonstrate past performance and responsibility through CPARS and SPRS records. Contract performance must be completed within 120 days of award, with invoices submitted electronically through WAWF-RA.
