Fisher Scientific Company L.L.C., a subsidiary of Thermo Electron Corporation, received a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call award valued at $14,900 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) on August 6, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of November 5, 2021. The contract, awarded without set-aside designation through open competition, covers the procurement of specialized laboratory equipment and supplies to be delivered to Hanover Park, Illinois. The line items include a QS3 0.2ML qPCR system (refurbished), TaqMan RNase 96-well instrument, optical adhesive covers, 96-well hard shell plates, and an 802.11B/G/N WiFi dongle. This award leverages Fisher Scientific's established position as a major federal supplier of scientific products and instruments to support NICHD's research and laboratory operations.

The contract operates under the firm fixed-price model typical of BPA call structures, enabling efficient procurement of needed laboratory supplies without requiring new solicitations. Fisher Scientific's extensive experience supplying advanced scientific instruments—including real-time PCR systems, centrifuges, and specialized testing equipment—to federal agencies including the National Institutes of Health and Department of Veterans Affairs positions the company to deliver the required equipment and supplies. As a child entity of Thermo Electron Corporation, which maintains significant indefinite delivery vehicles with multiple federal agencies, Fisher Scientific benefits from the parent company's established relationships and infrastructure supporting scientific research and laboratory testing initiatives across the federal government.
