Sources Sought Notice PCR-Flow Cytometer DPG.docx

This document is a Sources Sought Notice for a federal contract opportunity related to maintenance and repair services for 11 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) instruments located at the Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) in Utah. The U.S. Government currently intends to award the contract on a sole source basis to ThermoFisher Scientific, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the instruments, but is seeking input from other vendors that may be able to provide the required services. The scope includes annual preventative maintenance, calibration, and recertification services for three ViiA7 thermal cyclers, six QuantStudio 12K Flex OA thermal cyclers, and two Absolute Q thermal cyclers. Interested vendors are requested to provide information on their technical capabilities, past experience, and pricing by December 3, 2024. The anticipated NAICS code is 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) with a corresponding size standard of $34.0 Million. This Sources Sought Notice is the first step in the acquisition process, and a competitive solicitation may be issued in the future if the Government determines it is feasible.
