Notice of Intent to Sole Source Bruker ESR5000 Compaible Autosampler System

The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Rotunda Scientific Technologies LLC for an autosampler system that is compatible with the Bruker ESR5000 alanine-EPR dosimetry system, including all necessary associated software and installation services. The requirement is specifically tailored to support radiation dosimetry operations at the institution’s facility in Bethesda, Maryland, situated on the grounds of Naval Support Activity Bethesda. The procurement is being conducted under NAICS code 334519 with no set-aside provisions, and the solicitation number is USU_NoticeOfIntent_Autosampler_System. Although the contract value is not disclosed, the acquisition is structured as a fixed-price agreement, meaning the payment terms are predetermined regardless of actual costs incurred by the contractor. The notice was posted on June 1, 2026, with responses due by June 16, 2026, and all submissions must be sent via email to Ryan Jeffers, the primary point of contact. This notice functions as a pre-solicitation document to evaluate whether full and open competition is viable, and while Rotunda is identified as the intended awardee, any responsible source may respond by providing clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government, not cost or time prohibitive, and that alternative vendors can meet the identical technical requirements. The government explicitly states it will not reimburse any costs incurred by respondents during the submission process. No installation timelines, delivery schedules, packaging specifications, inspection criteria, or contract administration details such as point of contact for invoicing or quality assurance have been included in this notice, as it is designed solely to assess market interest and validate the justification for sole sourcing. The system must function seamlessly with the existing Bruker ESR5000 platform, and performance will occur exclusively at the Bethesda location.
