About this award
The U.S. government awarded a delivery order contract valued at $4,014.60 to Life Technologies Corporation (doing business as Thermo Fisher Scientific) on September 7, 2017, for a Fast Real Time PCR System Service Contract. The contract, which operated under a Firm Fixed Price structure with no set-aside designation, was funded by a civilian federal agency and completed by September 29, 2018. The work was performed in Carlsbad, California, where Thermo Fisher maintains significant manufacturing and service operations for its molecular biology instrumentation portfolio. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) systems are critical laboratory instruments used across federal agencies for genetic analysis, diagnostics, and research applications, enabling rapid amplification and detection of DNA sequences in fields ranging from public health to forensic analysis.
This delivery order likely represents a task order issued under an existing Indefinite Delivery Vehicle or blanket purchase agreement, consistent with Thermo Fisher's extensive contracting relationships across federal agencies including the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of Defense, and Federal Bureau of Investigation. Life Technologies Corporation serves as a subsidiary of Thermo Electron Corporation, a long-established provider of analytical and laboratory instrumentation to the federal government. The modest contract ceiling reflects the specialized, short-term nature of the service delivery, which typically encompasses preventative maintenance, technical support, or consumables for real-time PCR systems rather than equipment procurement.
