About this file
This document is a Notice to Sole Source for preventive and emergency maintenance services for a Bruker Avance Neo 700 NMR Spectrometer. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Cancer Institute (NCI), Center for Cancer Research is seeking maintenance services specifically from Bruker Biospin Corp. for their NMR spectrometer (Serial Number 10280140), which is critical for metabolomic research and clinical applications. The spectrometer requires comprehensive maintenance covering the NMR console, cryoplatform, probe, cooled samplejet, and bay control unit.
The sole source procurement is justified because Bruker Biospin Corp. is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and the only authorized provider of maintenance, emergency services, proprietary software upgrades, and technical support for this specific instrument. The solicitation (Number 75N91025Q00042) is open to potential alternative providers, with responses due by 12:00 PM EST on July 8, 2025, to be submitted via email to Contract Specialist David Romley.
