SOLE SOURCE REQUEST TO PURCHASE ThermoFisher Scientific Helios 5 Hydra CX DualBeam System: Extreme High Resolution (XHR) Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) equipped with a switchable multiple-ion-species (Xe, Ar, O, N) inductively coupleMississippi State University is seeking to procure a ThermoFisher Scientific Helios 5 Hydra CX DualBeam System, an Extreme High Resolution Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope equipped with a switchable multi-ion-species inductively coupled plasma focused ion beam capable of using Xe, Ar, O, and N ions. This is a sole source procurement justified by the unique integration of the EMPAD-2 detector and the multi-ion PFIB system, which only ThermoFisher Scientific currently offers in a single platform, and because the system is essential for automated TEM lamella preparation that prevents artifacts in sensitive multi-material workflows. The requirement includes the Helios 5 Hydra CX system, a Spectra 200 S/TEM system, advanced software packages including AutoTEM 5, Autoscrip, Auto Slice and View 5, Maps3, and Avizo, two uninterruptible power supplies, and preferred service agreements extending two years beyond the initial one-year factory warranty. The total negotiated contract value is $5,186,011, reflecting a 55.85% discount off the list price of $11,745,479. The system must be delivered and installed in Mississippi, with service agreements guaranteeing 48-hour targeted onsite labor response and unlimited labor hours for the extended warranty period. The solicitation is open under number 9250-26-R-RFIN-00045, with submissions due by July 1, 2026, at 00:00:00 CST, and objections to the sole source determination must be submitted in writing to Jennifer Mayfield with the subject line “Sole Source Objection.” If the university determines another viable source exists, the procurement will be reissued as a competitive bid.

Integrated Multi-Modal Materials Instrumentation (FA1)The contract seeks the design and construction of a laboratory-based proof-of-concept instrument capable of generating multiple material signatures for both surface and bulk analysis under ambient conditions without requiring any sample preparation. The core innovation lies in the use of a single configurable excitation source that can be dynamically adjusted to elicit distinct analytical responses from diverse materials, enabling versatile characterization across a broad range of sample types. This instrument must integrate multiple analytical modalities into a unified platform, ensuring seamless operation and data correlation while operating in standard environmental conditions to enhance practicality and real-world applicability. The project emphasizes minimal sample handling, rapid analysis, and flexibility in excitation parameters to support a wide array of material science applications. The initiative falls under the Defense Sciences Office within the Department of Defense, with a NAICS code of 334516 indicating a focus on analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing. It is issued as a subcontract with a submission deadline of August 26, 2026, and was posted on June 17, 2026. No place of performance or specific point of contact is provided, and the solicitation does not indicate a set-aside classification. The goal is to advance defense-relevant analytical capabilities by creating a compact, adaptive instrument that replaces multiple specialized tools with a single, reconfigurable system, thereby improving efficiency, reducing logistical burden, and enabling field-deployable diagnostics for materials characterization in operational environments.
