The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the Regional Procurement Office - East, intends to award a sole source contract to Thermo Fisher Scientific, LLC, for the relocation and maintenance of a FEI Tecnai G2 Spirit transmission electron microscope from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York to the VAPSHCS in Seattle. The contract requires specialized services including the complete disassembly, packaging, transportation, unpacking, and reassembly of the microscope, as well as an annual comprehensive preventative maintenance service for one year. Only Thermo Fisher Scientific, as the original equipment manufacturer through its acquisition of FEI Company, possesses the certified expertise and trained technicians necessary to perform these tasks safely and effectively, with no alternative providers capable of meeting the technical requirements. This action is justified under FAR 6.302.1-1 due to the unique nature of the equipment and the absence of other responsible sources. The contract will be executed under NAICS code 811210, with a $34.0 million size standard, and PSC code J066. No solicitation will be published on SAM.gov as this is a sole source determination.
