This is a Justification & Approval document for a sole source procurement by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) for renewal maintenance services of Philips medical imaging equipment at the Integrated Research Facility (IRF) at Fort Detrick, Maryland. The contract (75N93024P00438) is a follow-on to a previous maintenance agreement with Philips North America LLC, valued at $251,591.76 for the period of January 1, 2025 - December 31, 2025.

The equipment requiring maintenance includes a Gemini TF PET/CT Hybrid System and Philips uninterrupted power supply systems located within a BSL-4 containment facility. The justification cites Philips as the only contractor capable of servicing this specialized equipment due to their proprietary rights, unique modifications for BSL-4 operations, and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) status. The service agreement includes preventive maintenance, emergency repairs with 4-hour response time, software updates, and technical support during business hours (8:00 AM - 5:00 PM). A Notice of Intent (NIAID-NOI-25-2250226) was published on December 6, 2024, on SAM.gov, but no responses were received from other potential vendors.
