Intent to Sole Source: Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction Machine: Maintenance and User TrainingThe United States Air Force, through AFLCMC/PZIBA at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, intends to award a sole source contract to Life Technologies Corporation, a division of Thermo Fisher Scientific, for the maintenance and user training of Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) equipment used by the Air Force Institute of Technology. This action is justified under RFO 6.103-1(b) because only the original equipment manufacturer possesses the proprietary software, specialized calibration tools, and authorized training necessary to ensure the system's operational integrity and mission readiness. Utilizing any third-party vendor would terminate existing OEM support and pose severe risks to critical academic and research schedules, particularly those tied to Fall 2026 deliverables. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed price under NAICS code 334516, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. All responsible sources may submit capability statements or exceptions to the sole source intent, but only if received within five days of this notice. The Government will evaluate such submissions solely to determine whether full and open competition is warranted. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management prior to any potential award. Correspondence must be sent to dametria.walder@us.af.mil and claire.hess@us.af.mil no later than 11:00 a.m. EDT on Monday, August 3, 2026, with the exact subject line “FA860126Q0108 AFIT qPCR maintenance and training.” Only PDF, DOC, or XLS attachments are permitted; .zip and .exe files will be blocked by security filters. The Statement of Work and Redacted Sole Source Justification are attached for reference.

FACSLyric Flow Cytometry SystemThe National Cancer Institute, under the National Institutes of Health, intends to award a sole source contract to Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD) for the procurement of the BD FACSLyric Flow Cytometry System, citing FAR 6.302-1 due to the absence of any other responsible source capable of meeting the agency’s specific requirements. The FACSLyric system is an integrated platform comprising proprietary hardware, firmware, software, calibration protocols, and factory-supported installation and training that are exclusively manufactured and maintained by BD Biosciences. No third-party vendor can replicate or provide equivalent components, as the system’s functionality, data acquisition workflows, and quality control procedures are tightly coupled with BD’s proprietary software, FACSuite, and its associated automation and reagent ecosystem. Substituting equipment from another manufacturer would necessitate complete redevelopment of laboratory processes, revalidation of assays, and retraining of personnel, resulting in significant delays, increased costs, and unacceptable technical risk. All capability statements from potential vendors, including small businesses and other designated small business categories, may be submitted via email to haunp@mail.nih.gov no later than 9:00 a.m. EDT on August 7, 2026, solely to assess whether competitive procurement is feasible. However, the government has indicated that it anticipates awarding the contract approximately five calendar days after the response deadline unless a viable alternative is identified. The solicitation number is 75N98026Q00904, the NAICS code is 334516, and the place of performance is Bethesda, Maryland. The system will be installed and supported at the National Cancer Institute’s facility, and all warranty, technical support, and software updates are contingent upon BD’s exclusive authorization and supply.

Upgrade to the Zeiss Serial Block Face Scanning Electron MicroscopeThe National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) intends to award a sole source contract to Carl Zeiss for an upgrade to an existing Zeiss Serial Block Face Scanning Electron Microscope used for three-dimensional imaging of cells and tissues. The upgrade is restricted to the original equipment manufacturer due to the proprietary nature of the instrument’s hardware, software, firmware, and system integration, all of which are exclusively developed and controlled by Carl Zeiss. Third-party vendors lack access to the necessary technical specifications, source code, calibration procedures, and engineering documentation required to perform the upgrade, making it impossible for any other provider to meet the agency’s performance requirements. The system’s functionality depends on precise compatibility between its integrated components, and only Carl Zeiss can guarantee proper alignment, calibration, and validation using proprietary tools and factory-certified engineers. Any non-authorized modification would void warranties, invalidate service agreements, and jeopardize future software updates and technical support. No competitive alternative exists that can deliver an equivalent upgrade while preserving the instrument’s performance, research continuity, or compatibility with existing datasets and workflows. The government has determined that no other responsible source can satisfy the requirement under FAR 6.302-1. A capability statement from any interested party may be submitted by August 7, 2026, to assess potential competition, but the award is expected within five days of that date unless a viable competitor is identified. The contract will be administered by NIBIB in Bethesda, Maryland, with primary contact through Trish Haun at haunp@mail.nih.gov.
