The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to award a sole source contract to Thermo Electron North America for an annual Preventive Maintenance Service Agreement for an Ion Chromatography/Autosampler and peripheral equipment. Performance of services will be at the EPA’s location at 109 TW Alexander Drive, Durham, NC. The requirement mandates that only Thermo Scientific certified technicians and original manufacturer parts be used, as third-party service would void the warranty and require costly recertification. Responses demonstrating capability must be submitted in writing to Scott Tharp by 3:00 PM EDT on July 24, 2026. No budget amount is specified in the description.
