Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent and/or closely related prior contract based on the prior award 89243323PFE000683 to Fedcorp Services (value $90,859; 09/20/23–10/31/23) for a thermal analysis system package that included a TGA/DSC 3+ system along with DSC-related supplementary components such as a cooling system (Unichiller) and the same Dryer Gas SS (Model 63053296), plus STARe software updates. The current requirement is for a DSC 5+ thermal analysis system with supplementary components including the MMS1, cooling system TC100 MT CC, dryer gas SS (Model 63053296), and STARe software/hardlock upgrades, which suggests continuity in supplying and supporting Argonne’s thermal analysis instrumentation and associated accessories/software.
