    The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation intends to acquire additional equipment from Gamry Instruments, specifically eight Interface 1010E Potentiostat/Galvanostat/ZRA units and one Interface Power Hub, as per the federal procurement regulations. The Bureau currently operates four Gamry potentiostats, which are frequently at capacity, causing delays in ongoing projects. The decision to purchase from a single source—Gamry Instruments—is justified by the necessity to ensure compatibility with existing equipment, allowing for consistent data collection, analysis, and streamlined training efforts. Alternatives from different manufacturers pose risks related to compatibility, training, and data inconsistency. The agency will determine a fair price based on market research and past purchases, and a sources sought notice indicated limited competition, with a small business set-aside RFQ forthcoming. This procurement underscores the Bureau's commitment to operational efficiency and maintaining the integrity of its testing capabilities.
