About this award

The National Institute of Standards and Technology awarded a $36,312 firm fixed-price purchase order to Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC on October 8, 2024, for preventative maintenance and repair services on a Zeiss LSM 800 Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope system located at NIST's Gaithersburg, Maryland facility. This sole-source contract, which extends through October 7, 2027, was issued following a special notice published in April 2024 indicating NIST's intent to procure these specialized services from the original equipment manufacturer. The confocal microscope is a critical research instrument used by NIST's Engineering Laboratory Infrastructure Materials Group to support ongoing materials science and characterization research programs. No small business set-aside applies to this award, reflecting the proprietary nature of the equipment and the requirement for OEM-level technical expertise.

This award represents a task order issued under Carl Zeiss Microscopy's existing General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contract, which carries a total value of $62.1 million and remains active through March 3, 2030. Carl Zeiss Microscopy, a foreign-owned manufacturer headquartered in White Plains, New York, has been registered as a federal contractor since 2004 and maintains an extensive portfolio of microscopy equipment and support services across civilian agencies, including NIST, the National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Defense. The company also holds a $10 million Blanket Purchase Agreement for operation and maintenance services of medical and scientific equipment extending through September 30, 2026.
