Pre-Solicitation Notice for the notice of intent to award a sole source contract. This is not a solicitation.

Thermo Fisher Scientific s electron microscopic division was formerly FEI Company, the original manufacturer of the FEI transmission electron microscope (TEM) Tecnai 12 Spirit. The FEI Company is now a subsidiary of Thermo Fisher Scientific. No other company has the expertise to perform the 1st part of the contract disassembly and reassembly. All services must be provide by OEM certified technicians who have previous experience with the Tecnai G2 Spirit.
