AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is seeking to sole source a contract to repair a nonfunctional Thermo 6500 ICP-AES instrument at its Andrew W. Breidenbach Environmental Research Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, under solicitation number 68HERL26Q0067. The repair centers on replacing a failed MFC gas box that disrupts argon gas flow critical to plasma generation and heavy metal analysis in water samples, and the work must be performed exclusively by a certified Thermo Field Service Engineer using manufacturer-approved parts and procedures to restore full operational capability per Thermo Electron North America LLC’s specifications. The estimated contract value is $17,087.00 on a firm-fixed-price basis, with performance required at the EPA facility and a three-month period of performance following repair completion. Sole source justification is grounded in FAR 6.302-1, citing Thermo as the only responsible source due to proprietary technology and technical expertise, making competitive bidding impractical. The agency will evaluate proposals solely on demonstrated technical capability to execute the repair and the demonstrated cost and time advantages, with no formal weighting or adjectival ratings applied. Submission is limited to email only, with a deadline of July 28, 2026, at 4:30 PM Eastern Time, and responses must include a capability statement and supporting documentation to prove technical competency and efficiency, with the subject line clearly identifying the responding company. The contracting officer is Samuel Gavin, reachable via email, and while no formal contract clauses, packaging, marking, or invoicing instructions are specified, acceptance of the work occurs only after the instrument passes a functional verification at the EPA site. A follow-on maintenance contract is contingent on successful completion of this repair. The vendor is not a small business, and no socioeconomic certifications or affirmative representations apply.
