Haley Veterans Hospital in Tampa, Florida, and other locations under its authority. This contract is based on Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 13.106-1(b)(1), with a one-year base performance period, and is solely justified because EOI, Inc dba Medical Resources is the only factory-authorized service provider with the specialized training, certified parts inventory, and technical expertise required to service this equipment. No other entity has been authorized by the manufacturer to perform these services, making competition impossible. Responses to this special notice are sought solely for market research purposes to identify any potential qualified small businesses, including Service-Disabled Veteran Owned, Veteran Owned, 8(a), or HUBZone firms, that may have the capability to deliver equivalent services, though no subcontracting opportunities are anticipated. All respondents must be registered in the System for Award Management with completed Representations and Certifications and must provide documented proof from EOI, Inc dba Medical Resources authorizing them as a service provider for the Checkpoint Wireless System. Submissions must include the business name, address, size, socioeconomic classification, and contact information with email and phone number, along with detailed evidence demonstrating technical competency.

66--TENSIOMETER
Solicitation # N0038326QPC63
The procurement involves a flight-critical tensiometer identified by NSN 1R-6635-005301129-XF and reference number T60-1001C9-1A, with a quantity of 12 units delivered FOB origin. Due to the unique design capability, proprietary manufacturing and repair knowledge, and essential technical data held exclusively by previously approved sources, the Government requires source approval prior to contract award. Only entities previously vetted and approved by the Government's design control activity may be considered, as alternate sources cannot be qualified within the required timeline without compromising mission-critical readiness. Prospective offerors not already approved must submit detailed documentation as outlined in the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Source Approval Information Brochures for spares or repair, depending on their experience with similar items, and must include evidence of prior submission if their approval request is already under evaluation. Offers lacking complete required documentation or failing to demonstrate compliance with qualification procedures will be deemed nonresponsive. The technical data necessary to maintain part quality is not economically available to the Government, and full and open competition is precluded due to the item’s criticality and insufficient public technical documentation. Award will be contingent upon the offeror, product, or manufacturer meeting all qualification requirements at the time of award as stipulated by FAR clause 52.209-1. Market research has determined that commercial item acquisition policies under FAR Part 12 do not apply, though interested parties may propose commercial alternatives within 15 days of notice. All associated military specifications, standards, and technical documents can be accessed via ASSIST-Online or ordered through DODSSP, with direct contact provided for offline requests. The contract is managed by NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia, and inquiries should be directed to the designated point of contact.

Solicitation # 140R4026Q0095
The contract solicitation 140R4026Q0095, issued by the Upper Colorado Regional Office of the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation, seeks four units of an Eclipse® Guided Wave Radar oil level sensor assembly for deployment at the Elephant Butte Field Division in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. The device must meet stringent technical specifications including ±3mm measurement accuracy, operation in extreme temperatures from -100°C to +200°C under pressures up to 1,000 psi, and compliance with IP-67 enclosure ratings, intrinsic safety, explosion-proof, and non-incendive certifications. The product must match or equate to the specified model X5EB-BL1A-NCBM-NN31-ANNN2NN-014 with mandatory component part numbers and must include factory test certificates and nameplates for traceability. Delivery is required 60 days after award, with F.O.B. Destination terms placing responsibility for transport and risk on the contractor until receipt at the designated site. This is a small business set-aside procurement under NAICS code 334513, with deviations applied to several FAR clauses including 52.219-6, 52.219-28, and 52.219-33, and requires offerors to have an active UEI and CAGE code in SAM.gov while certifying small business status. Proposals must be submitted via email to Timothy Ott no later than August 7, 2026, and must include cut sheets, technical drawings, and a comparison table demonstrating compliance with all salient characteristics outlined in Sections 3.2–3.8. The evaluation will follow a trade-off approach balancing technical merit, past performance, delivery schedule, warranty, and cost, with no preference for lowest price. The contract imposes strict security requirements aligned with Bureau of Reclamation policy, mandating PIV credentials, U.S. citizenship or lawful residency for personnel, immediate reporting of access incidents, and full flow-down of security clauses to subcontractors. All invoicing must be transmitted electronically through the Treasury’s IPP platform, and no standard military packaging or marking specifications are required beyond general protective packaging guidelines. The procurement excludes the use of WAWF and does not provide a contract value due to missing pricing data in the CLIN table.

Bio-capacitance probe system
Solicitation # 26-58103
The National Research Council of Canada is seeking a four-probe bio-capacitance system capable of real-time measurement of bio-capacitance in up to four bioreactors simultaneously, enabling continuous estimation of viable cell concentration and derivation of critical cell culture parameters such as cell size, internal conductivity, and critical frequency through multi-frequency analysis of the β-dispersion signal using the Cole–Cole α model. The system must feature probes compatible with the agency’s diverse bioreactor platforms and support real-time data capture via both OPC-UA and 4–20 mA communication protocols to enable direct integration into process control loops. All hardware must be new, off-the-shelf, non-counterfeit, and fully traceable to the original manufacturer, with clear unencumbered title guaranteed by the contractor. The system must be delivered within 12 weeks of award to the NRC facility in Montreal under DAP Incoterms®2020 delivery terms, accompanied by technical documentation in hard and digital formats, operation software, a calibration signal simulator (optional), and guaranteed spare parts availability for five years alongside one year of technical support. The solicitation follows a Low Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation methodology, where offerors must first meet all mandatory technical requirements—detailed in Annex C and E—to qualify for price consideration, with award going solely to the lowest-priced compliant proposal. Proposals must be submitted electronically in two separate attachments—technical and financial—via email only, with a total file size not exceeding 10 MB, and must include completed Offer Submission and Declaration Forms adhering to the Federal Contractors Program for Employment Equity requirements. No security clearance is required, and the contractor must certify compliance with ethical procurement standards, prohibitions on contingency fees, international sanctions, and forced labor laws. All contract records must be retained for seven years post-final payment, and invoices must be submitted electronically to a designated NRC email, with payment processed via direct deposit, EDI, or wire transfer. Packaging must comply with Canadian standards and emphasize environmentally preferable materials, while labeling must include item descriptions, quantities, contract ID, and inspection voucher information. Acceptance of goods will occur at the delivery site within 30 days of notification, with the government retaining full authority for inspection and rejection of non-conforming systems.
