About this archived opportunity

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) at the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) intends to negotiate with only one source, Thunder Scientific Corp. for the on-site calibration service for 3 each Thunder Scientific Corp brand Temperature/Relative Humidity Chambers. This action is authorized by and in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The Government believes that the only responsible source capable of satisfying the agency's requirement is Thunder Scientific Corp. as the only vendor certified to perform the calibration of the equipment. A Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition has been prepared in support of this acquisition. The estimated value of this acquisition is less than $27,300.00. No Request for Quote (RFQ) will be issued and no response will be made to letters, emails or telephone requests for a copy of the solicitation. This is not a request for competitive quotes, but serves as a procurement notice to fulfill public posting requirements in accordance with FAR 5.101(a)(1). The requirement is unrestricted and the NAICS code 811210 applies. Responsible firms believing they can provide the required items are encouraged to identify themselves and give written notification to the Contracting Officer referencing action item 140L3726Q0005, however, they must provide convincing evidence that they can furnish the requested items at a cost that will not exceed the total estimated transaction cost. All responses will be fully considered. If no affirmative responses are received by January 7, 2026, to the effect that a comparable source exists, an order will be placed with Thunder Scientific Corp. for the requirement stated here. Questions concerning this acquisition may be directed to Miranda Schindel at 208-387-5431 or emailed to mjschindel@blm.gov.
