Addendum No. 3.docx

Addendum No. 3 is an official document issued by the Louisiana Office of State Procurement for Solicitation Number 3000024785, specifically an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for Preventive Maintenance Services for the Louisiana Department of Health - Office of Public Health (LDH-OPH). The addendum addresses a previously existing protest and modifies the bid opening date, extending it from June 18, 2025, to June 25, 2025, both at 10:00 A.M. Central Time. The solicitation seeks maintenance services for seven Agilent scientific instruments, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) systems, with a contract period from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, and potential renewals for two additional 12-month periods.

The procurement requires bidders to be Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)-certified technicians capable of providing comprehensive Agilent Crosslab Silver Maintenance Plan services, which include annual preventive maintenance, on-demand service calls, onsite repairs, genuine parts, consumables, and technical support. The state will award the contract on an all-or-none basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, utilizing electronic payment methods such as the LaCarte procurement card for purchases under $5,000 and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) for other transactions. Contractors must provide proof of insurance with specific coverage requirements, and while no explicit budget range is specified, the contract allows for potential variations in order volumes at consistent unit prices and terms.
