This Single Source Justification document details a service contract for a Janus 4TIP MPD DNA sequencer (serial number DG0907018) for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The contract will be awarded to Revvity (formerly Perkin Elmer) as the sole source provider due to their patent ownership and exclusive capability to service the specialized instrument. The contract requires the contractor to provide labor and parts for annual preventative maintenance, with full coverage for parts, labor, and travel, specifically supporting genetic research for Coleman NFH and Battle Creek to analyze spring and endangered winter chinook populations.

The sole source justification is based on Revvity's unique qualifications: they are the exclusive manufacturer of the instrument, their engineers are the only ones fully trained on the specific machine, and they hold patents preventing other vendors from providing equivalent services. The contractor must be certified to troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair issues within 24 hours of notification. The contract is set for a short period from 05/22/2025 to 06/15/2025, with pricing to be determined fair and reasonable through comparison to similar repair costs. Interested parties have six days from the notice issuance to submit potential alternative capabilities.
