About this file
This document is a Justification and Approval for a sole source contract award for the maintenance of instruments used for data collection by Cryo Electron Microscopes at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). The services are required to provide preventative and emergency maintenance for the electron microscopes and associated components to prevent significant downtime and disruption to the NIEHS mission, particularly the Cryo-EM laboratory. The service packages are commercially available on a fixed-price basis and procuring the services separately would not be in the best interest of the government as it would result in higher costs. The contract, number 75N96024P00163, was awarded on 2024-08-09 to an unknown vendor for an unknown amount. No other sources expressed interest in writing for this proposed acquisition, and the agency does not plan to take any actions to remove barriers to competition before a subsequent acquisition.
