H--TSC 8530 UTM CALIBRATIONS FY26-FY28

The Bureau of Reclamation issued special notice 140R4026Q0087 for the annual calibration and maintenance of five testing machines and two extensometers located at the Denver Federal Center, Building 56, in Lakewood, Colorado. This requirement is classified under NAICS 541380 Testing Laboratories and Services and PSC H366 INSPECTION- INSTRUMENTS AND LABORATORY EQUIPMENT. The agency intends to award the contract on an other than full and open competitive basis to Instron, a division of Illinois Tool Works, Inc., because the equipment consists of proprietary machines designed and manufactured by that firm.

The procurement includes a base performance period from 2026 to 2027, with two additional option years extending through 2029. These services are intended to maintain the quality, accuracy, and reliability of the laboratory equipment used by the Bureau of Reclamation. Documentation associated with this notice includes one attachment, a PDF titled Intent_to_Sole_Sourse_1.pdf, which was published on June 5, 2026.

Although this notice is not a request for competitive quotes, firms capable of fulfilling the requirements may submit a written response to Keith Singleton by the deadline of June 15, 2026. Responses must include a capability statement detailing the firm’s experience, assets, and background to demonstrate the ability to perform the work without compromising technical standards or the established schedule.
