This is a sole source contract award for maintenance, training, support services, and spare parts for Shimadzu GCMS chemical sensor operation. The contract includes extended warranties, training, and spare parts to ensure the systems remain fully operational. The requirement is for a base year plus four option years. The estimated total contract value is $2 million. This acquisition is conducted under the authority of 10 ****(a)(1) because Shimadzu GCMS instruments are proprietary to Shimadzu, and previous attempts to acquire rights to the data for competition have been unsuccessful. The instruments are part of a critical life safety system for early detection of chemical threats. Inability to procure these services could create an unacceptable vulnerability. Market research confirmed that only Shimadzu can provide the necessary parts and services. Buying the warranty separately introduces increased risk and cost. Similar extended warranties are available through GSA, but not the other required services.
The bid notice states that the contract will be for a base year plus four 4 option years. The specific delivery deadline for services or parts is not explicitly mentioned in a single sentence.
