About this award

This is a $308,221.18 firm-fixed-price definitive contract awarded by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to Life Technologies Corporation, doing business as Thermo Fisher Scientific. The contract is for the maintenance of DNA analysis laboratory instrumentation, including genetic analyzers, real-time PCR systems, and thermal cyclers, used in support of ATF's forensic science laboratory operations. The contract has an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2029.

The original pre-solicitation notice did not specify any set-aside designations, and the government had not yet decided on the small business strategy. The solicitation sought information on vendors' ability to provide on-site emergency response within 48 hours, online troubleshooting, repairs to original equipment manufacturer specifications, and annual preventative maintenance. Thermo Fisher Scientific, as a prominent manufacturer of scientific instruments and a longstanding federal contractor, appears well-positioned to deliver the required services.
