Purchase of FTIR and UV-Vis/NIR microscopes for The ICEE facilityNASA/NSSC is proceeding with a sole-source procurement under FAR 12.102(a) to acquire an integrated FTIR microscope and UV-Vis/NIR microspectrophotometer system from Jasco Incorporated for use at the ICEE facility at NASA Ames Research Center. The procurement is justified on the basis that Jasco is the sole provider capable of delivering a system that seamlessly integrates with the existing Jasco NRS5500 Raman microscope through its proprietary iQ frame technology, enabling precise sample repositioning and correlated molecular analysis across mid-IR, visible, and Raman spectral ranges for planetary science applications. The integrated system must include an MCT detector with a spectral range of 7800–350 cm⁻¹, a UV/Vis-NIR microspectrophotometer with a 200 nm to 1.6 µm range and dual-beam monochromator, automated XYZ stages with 1 µm precision, diamond ATR objectives, IQ mapping and monitoring software, a Dell Pro Slim desktop with Windows 11, two 24-inch monitors, calibration standards, and factory-installed training—all to be delivered and commissioned at NASA Ames by November 1, 2026. The estimated contract value is $286,581.75, with no competitive solicitation planned, as responses to the notice will be evaluated solely to confirm the validity of the sole-source justification. The procurement follows commercial item acquisition procedures under FAR Part 12, with the NAICS code 334516, and includes the NASA FAR Supplement clause 1852.215-84 for the Ombudsman. All submissions regarding capabilities must be sent in writing to Kacey Hickman at Kacey.l.hickman@nasa.gov no later than 3:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on June 30, 2026, and oral communications are explicitly prohibited. While no formal evaluation factors, pricing breakdowns, or packaging requirements are specified, acceptance will be based on strict compliance with the technical specifications outlined in the Statement of Work, with final acceptance occurring at NASA Ames following installation and operational validation.

6515--Intent to Sole Source: Portable Reverse Osmosis Water Purification System for the James J. Peters VAMC.The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a sole source, firm fixed-price contract to Fresenius USA Marketing, Inc. for the procurement and installation of four AquaC 20 Amp Portable Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Systems, along with accompanying AAMI Water Profile Kits, to support hemodialysis operations at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center in the Bronx, New York. The current portable units are nearing end-of-life and suffer from persistent bacterial contamination despite rigorous maintenance, necessitating immediate replacement to ensure patient-safe, AAMI-compliant water quality. The systems must be cart-mounted for portability within clinical areas, compatible with existing Marcor carts, and capable of meeting stringent water purification standards including greater than 99% rejection of bacteria and endotoxins, over 96% dissolved salt rejection, and continuous real-time monitoring of permeate conductivity and operational data logs. Each unit requires integration with Fresenius dialysis machines via a dedicated interface and must support automated thermal disinfection cycles up to 90°C, automated rinse cycles every four hours, and biocompatible materials throughout the water path. The contract includes comprehensive installation on-site, operational qualification, and a minimum of 24 hours of in-person technical training for up to five clinical staff members, with one follow-up session required within 90 days of installation. Training must commence within 30 days of installation to remain valid, and any additional personnel or sessions will incur extra charges. The systems must operate on a dedicated 120 V, 20 Amp circuit with proper grounding, comply with IEC 60601-1 safety standards, emit no more than 46 dB(A) during normal operation, and feature integrated alarms that automatically halt dialysis supply in case of critical faults such as water supply failure or conductivity deviation. Units must provide auditable disinfection reports, display real-time rejection rates and yield, and maintain compatibility with automated decalcification and chemical disinfection protocols. The procurement relies on FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(ii) for sole source justification and falls under NAICS code 334516. The contract is governed by a one-year manufacturer warranty with existing maintenance agreements to be amended upon installation, and all submissions of interest must be emailed to jonatan.rondon@va.gov no later than July 3, 2026, to inform the government’s decision on competitive versus sole sourceaward.

NOI - Oxford Nanopore Tech. - PromethION 2 Integrated InstrumentThe National Institutes of Health, Clinical Center, Department of Laboratory Medicine intends to award a sole source firm-fixed-price contract to Oxford Nanopore Technologies Inc. for the purchase of a PromethION 2 Integrated Instrument. This procurement is necessary to enable long-read genomic DNA sequencing of patient samples for the detection of complex DNA mutations, structural abnormalities such as deletions, insertions, and inversions, and DNA methylation patterns that are not reliably identified by conventional sequencing methods. Oxford Nanopore is the sole manufacturer of this instrument and its associated reagents, making it the only viable source capable of fulfilling the Department’s technical requirements for advanced genomic analysis in clinical hematology research. The decision to proceed without competitive solicitation is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), which permits single-source acquisitions when only one vendor can satisfy the government’s specific needs. The Department of Laboratory Medicine provides critical laboratory support for patient care and research at the NIH Clinical Center, focusing on Clinical Hematological Pathology and leveraging cutting-edge technologies to advance diagnostic capabilities. The PromethION 2 Instrument will be integral to validating and implementing new testing protocols for patients with cancer, cancer predisposing disorders, and complex phenotypes where detailed genomic insights are essential. While this notice is not a request for quotations, interested parties may submit capability statements demonstrating their authorization as an original equipment manufacturer, technical proficiency, and relevant past performance to support the government’s evaluation. All submissions referencing POTS: 26-006772 must be received by July 7, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST via email to the designated Contract Specialist, and the final determination to proceed without competition rests solely with the government. The instrument will be delivered and utilized at the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland.
