This opportunity is for the procurement of "Lead, Thermocouple". The estimated annual quantity (EAQ) is 40 units, totaling 80 units over the 2-year period of performance. The contract type will be a Firm Fixed-Price Indefinite Quantity Contract with no options.

Evaluation & Justification

The justification for other than full and open competition cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). Market research, including sources sought notices or RFIs posted on SAM.gov on November 17, 2025, and December 10, 2025, yielded no responses or expressions of interest from contractors. Consequently, the acquisition is restricted to known capable source(s). However, the upcoming solicitation will include Procurement Notes L04 and M06 to allow potential new sources to submit data for evaluation.
