This justification document approves a sole-source contract with Rigaku Americas Corporation for the continuation of a service agreement for the Rigaku SMA1T lab equipment. The contract covers annual maintenance, updates, and repairs for the Rigaku XRD system. The justification cites FAR **** as the statutory authority for the sole-source acquisition. Rigaku is the only vendor capable of providing the required service due to the highly technical nature of the instrumentation and proprietary software. Market research was conducted, and no other vendors were identified. The contracting officer determined the anticipated price to be fair and reasonable, comparing it to a previous purchase order (****) and the government's IGCE.
