The Department of Defense, specifically the Air Force's Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC), intends to procure an Energy Dispersive XRF Spectrometer from Applied Rigaku Technologies Inc. to enhance its analytical capabilities. The spectrometer must meet specific technical requirements, including the ability to detect elements from Sodium to Uranium, a 50 kV X-ray tube, and a Silicon Drift Detector, while ensuring that no refurbished components are included. This procurement is critical for maintaining high-quality analytical standards in government operations, and the estimated value falls below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, allowing for a non-competitive procurement process. Interested parties may submit responses electronically by 1:00 PM CDT on October 21, 2024, and should direct inquiries to Noah Bean at noah.bean.1@us.af.mil or Brooke Vandeman at brooke.vandeman@us.af.mil.
