What the notice says
NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT Agency: Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Sub-Agency: National Institutes of Health (NIH), Office of the Director (OD), Office of Research Services (ORS), Division of Scientific Equipment and Instrumentation Services (or applicable DS office) NAICS Code: 811210 � Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance Title: On-Site Disassembly, Reassembly, and Technical Support Services for Laboratory Equipment Relocation Reference Number: PCA-ORS-06651 Description The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to award a sole so… (show all)
urce, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Mirion Technologies (Canberra), Inc., 800 Research Parkway, Meriden, CT 06450. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. NIH requires manufacturer-provided, on-site Field Support Engineer (FSE) services to support the relocation of sensitive radiation detection equipment from NIH Building 21 to Building 13. Services include pre-move performance evaluation, disassembly and preparation for transport, coordination with the Government's separate rigging contractor, reassembly, testing, operational verification, startup assistance, and basic system familiarization for NIH personnel. The equipment covered by this requirement includes: One (1) Fastscan Whole Body Counter One (1) Accuscan Whole Body Counter Two (2) Broad Energy Germanium (BeGE) detector systems and associated shielding Authority This action will be conducted as a simplified acquisition using other than full and open competition pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b) and documented in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(b)(3). Sole Source Basis Mirion Technologies (Canberra), Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the Fastscan, Accuscan, and BeGE detector systems. NIH has determined that Mirion is the only source capable of performing the required services because: The equipment hardware, software, and instrumentation are proprietary to Mirion. Mirion does not license third parties to provide technical service for its proprietary software or instrumentation. The required work must be performed by Mirion-trained and certified Field Support Engineers with the technical knowledge and proprietary access necessary to properly disassemble, reassemble, test, and verify the systems. Service or upgrades performed by a non-OEM source could affect the equipment warranty and result in additional cost to the Government. Mirion provides these services directly and does not have authorized resellers for the required services. Estimated Value The estimated total value of this action is $50,000.00. Interested Parties This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. However, any responsible source that believes it can meet the Government's requirement may submit a capability statement or other documentation demonstrating its ability to perform the required services. Responses must clearly demonstrate the firm's ability to provide manufacturer-level service for the specific Mirion systems identified above, including any required authorization, licensing, technical certifications, and access to proprietary software, instrumentation, or technical information. All timely responses will be considered by the Government. A determination not to compete this requirement based on responses received is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no response demonstrates the capability to meet the Government's requirement, NIH intends to proceed with the sole source award to Mirion Technologies (Canberra), Inc. Response Due Date Responses are due no later than September 24, 2026, at 4:01 PM ET. Point of Contact Contract Specialist: Travis Brown Email: travis.brown@nih.gov This notice does not obligate the Government to award a contract or reimburse any costs incurred in preparing or submitting a response.

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
- $BDX reported $19.4B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 4 past awards, $99K, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K
- $ESE reported $855.8M revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 4 past awards, $99K, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K
One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.

Materiality: one award's value as a share of the winner's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings (or its last fiscal year, as noted when you point at it). Low under 1%, Medium 1 to 5%, High 5% or more. Many awards are paid over several years, so this overstates a single year's share.
