X-Ray Tube

The government plans to acquire an X-ray tube for the MagiX-PRO x-ray spectrometer system through a sole-source procurement under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), intending to solicit and negotiate with only one supplier, PANalytical Inc. While this notice is not a request for competitive proposals, interested parties may submit information demonstrating their capability to fulfill the requirement. The government will consider all timely responses received within ten days from the notice’s publication date before deciding whether to pursue a competitive procurement. The applicable NAICS code for this action is 335122, which covers commercial supply related to electronic components. Responses must be submitted via email to Debra Beale at [email hidden], referencing solicitation number N4215814RC40829, by 12:00 PM on May 25, 2014. The government’s decision to forego competition is discretionary, and the information received will primarily inform that determination. The procurement details, including the sole-source justification and contact information, are outlined to facilitate the government’s intent to engage exclusively with PANalytical Inc for this specific component.
